Tissue Specificity | Expressed on myeloid precursors in the bone marrow. In the peripheral blood, mostly expressed on granulocytes. |
Post Translational Modifications | Glycosylated. Phosphorylation is involved in binding to PTPN6 and PTPN11. |
Function | Sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec) that plays a role in mediating cell-cell interactions and in maintaining immune cells in a resting state. Preferentially binds sialic acid to the short O-linked glycans of certain mucins. |
