CD353 Gene ID | 56833 |
CD353 Official Full Name | SLAM family member 8 |
CD353 Alias | SLAMF8 |
CD353 Cellular Expression | B; Dendritic; Macrophage |
CD353 Ligand/Receptor/Association | |
CD353 Function | Regulates macrophage function; may play a role in B cell lineage commitment |
CD353 Summary | This gene encodes a member of the CD2 family of cell surface proteins involved in lymphocyte activation. These proteins are characterized by Ig domains. This protein is expressed in lymphoid tissues, and studies of a similar protein in mouse suggest that it may function during B cell lineage commitment. The gene is found in a region of chromosome 1 containing many CD2 genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
