Characterization of Siglec-5, a Novel Glycoprotein Expressed on Myeloid Cells Related to CD33
15 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
We describe the characterization of siglec-5 (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin-5), a novel transmembrane member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, highly related to the myeloid antigen, CD33. A full-length cDNA encoding siglec-5 was isolated from a human activated monocyte cDNA library. Sequencing predicted that siglec-5 contains four extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains, the N-terminal two of which are...
