Background/Introduction: SIGLEC-1, also known as Sialoadhesin or CD169, is a cell adhesion molecule found on the surface of certain cells of the immune system called macrophages. This gene is mapped to 20p13. It belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF). Since sialoadhesin binds sialic acids with its N-terminal IgV-domain, it is also a member of the SIGLEC family. The localization and expression of SIGLEC-1 in humans has altered coincident with the evolutionary loss of Neu5Gc. SIGLEC-1-positive macrophages have a dual physiologic function. They act as innate 'flypaper' by preventing the systemic spread of lymph-borne pathogens and as critical gatekeepers at the lymph-tissue interface that facilitate the recognition of particulate antigens by B cells and initiate humoral immune responses.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
Uniprot Description
SIGLEC1: Acts as an endocytic receptor mediating clathrin dependent endocytosis. Macrophage-restricted adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to lymphocytes, including granulocytes, monocytes, natural killer cells, B-cells and CD8 T-cells. Preferentially binds to alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid. Binds to SPN/CD43 on T-cells. May play a role in hemopoiesis. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. SIGLEC (sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin) family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Membrane protein, integral
Cellular Component: extracellular region; integral to membrane; membrane; plasma membrane
Molecular Function: carbohydrate binding; protein binding

Product Notes
The Mouse SIGLEC1 siglec1 (Catalog #AAA8244707) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA8244707 ELISA Kit recognizes Mouse SIGLEC1. AAA Biotech's CD169 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Sandwich ELISA (EIA). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the SIGLEC1 siglec1 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CD169, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
