SIGLEC7 (D-siglec) Antibody (C-term H422) Blocking peptide

SIGLECs are cell surface proteins of the Ig superfamily. Most SIGLECs have 1 or more cytoplasmic immune receptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs, or ITIMs. A large subgroup of SIGLECs share high homology with SIGLEC3 (CD33) and are localized to 19q13.4. The cDNA for the SLG gene encodes 2 variants, SLG-long (SLGL) and SLG-short (SLGS). The 595-amino acid SLGL protein contains a signal peptide and 2 V-set N-terminal Ig-like domains. The 477-amino acid SLGS protein has a weak signal sequence and, like most SIGLEC3-like SIGLECs, has only 1 V-set N-terminal Ig-like domain. Both variants contain 2 C2-set N-terminal Ig-like domains, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic tail with a putative ITIM and a putative SLAM-like tyrosine-based motif. The conserved arginine residue thought to be essential for sialic acid binding in other SIGLECs is replaced by a glutamine in SLGS and by a cysteine in SLGL. RT-PCR analysis detected high expression of both variants in spleen and small intestine, and SLGS was highly expressed in adrenal gland and SLGL was highly expressed in bone marrow.

Synthetic peptide

The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP1633c was selected from the C-term region of human D-siglec . A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
