Specificity
Clone 5G6 specifically recognizes human Siglec-10 (Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 10), a putative adhesion molecule and member of the Ig superfamily, expressed by monocytes, B cells, eosinophils, and at a higher level by a subpopulation of CD16+CD56- natural killer (NK) cells. Structurally, Siglec-10 is most similar to the CD33-related group of Siglecs, and preferentially binds to glycoconjugates containing alpha-2,3- or alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid. Studies have shown that Siglec-10 acts as a substrate for VAP-1 (Vascular adhesion protein-1), a glycoprotein expressed on endothelium during inflammation, which is involved in primary amine oxidation and leucocyte trafficking, see for details. This interaction between Siglec-10 and VAP-1, implicates Siglec-10 in endothelial lymphocyte adhesion and in the modulation of the inflammatory microenvironment. Studies have shown that clone 5G6 does not cross-react with Siglecs 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9, see for details.
