SIGLEC8 localizations

SIGLEC8 [ENSP00000321077]

Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 8; Putative adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to red blood cells (PubMed:10856141, PubMed:10625619). Preferentially binds to alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid. Also binds to alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid. The sialic acid recognition site may be masked by cis interactions with sialic acids on the same cell surface . Recognizes simultaneously epitopes having a terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) and an underlying 6-O-sulfated galactose. Preferentially binds to Gal-6- sulfated sialyl-Lewis X glycan epitopes .

The subcellular localizations are derived from database annotations, automatic text mining of the biomedical literature, and sequence-based predictions. The confidence of each association is signified by stars, where ★★★★★ is the highest confidence and ★☆☆☆☆ is the lowest.
