SLAMF8 (signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 8), also known as BLAME and CD353, is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to the SLAM subfamily of the CD2 protein family of the Ig (immunoglobulin) superfamily. Most SLAM family members function as adhesion molecules and co-receptors for lymphocyte activation and mediate tyrosine phosphorylation signals. SLAMF8 contains 1 Ig-like V-type and 1 Ig-like C2-type domains in the extracellular region and 2 ITSM (immunoreceptor tyrosine switch motifs) in the cytoplasmic region. SLAMF8 is expressed in lymph node, spleen, thymus and bone marrow as well as dendritic cells and IFN­γ stimulated monocytes. Overexpression of SLAMF8 in bone marrow cells leads to an increase in the peritoneal B1b population of B lymphocytes. SLAMF8 may thus play a role in B-lineage commitment and modulation of signaling through the B-cell receptor (BCR).

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
