Mouse Anti-human CD33-APC/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
CD33 is found on granulocyte and macrophage precursors in the bone marrow, but is not on pluripotent stem cells. The protein is also expressed on, and is a useful marker for, peripheral monocytes. It is also useful for distinguishing myelogenous leukaemia cells from lymphoid or erythroid leukaemias.
Function:
Putative adhesion molecule of myelomonocytic-derived cells that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to cells. Preferentially 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. In the immune response, may act as an inhibitory receptor upon ligand induced tyrosine phosphorylation by recruiting cytoplasmic phosphatase(s) via their SH2 domain(s) that block signal transduction through dephosphorylation of signaling molecules. Induces apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia (in vitro).
Subunit:
Interacts with PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2 upon phosphorylation.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Monocytic/myeloid lineage cells.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylation of Tyr-340 is involved in binding to PTPN6 and PTPN11.
Phosphorylation of Tyr-358 is involved in binding to PTPN6.
Similarity:
Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. SIGLEC (sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin) family.
Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
Contains 1 Ig-like SLVtype (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
