Activity summary

SIGLEC5 also known as CD170 is a sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin with a molecular mass of approximately 96 kDa. This protein plays an important role in immune cell signaling by recognizing sialylated glycans on the surface of cells. SIGLEC5 is mainly expressed on immune cells such as neutrophils monocytes and macrophages. It belongs to the lectin family of proteins and can modulate immune responses and communication between cells.

Biological function summary

SIGLEC5 functions by mediating cell-cell interactions and transmitting inhibitory signals that regulate immune responses. It binds to sialic acid-containing glycoproteins which can help modulate the threshold for cell activation by transmitting signals through its immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM). SIGLEC5 is not part of a large complex but interacts with other molecules to exert its function in maintaining immune cell balance.

Pathways

SIGLEC5 plays a role in immune signaling pathways by maintaining cell homeostasis. It contributes to the regulation of the immune response by modulating inhibitory signaling pathways. It is associated with proteins like Src family kinases which phosphorylate the ITIM motif to initiate downstream signaling cascades. Additionally its interaction with sialic acids allows modulation of the innate immune response to various stimuli.

Associated diseases and disorders

SIGLEC5 has been linked to autoimmune diseases and infections like bacterial sepsis. In autoimmune conditions the dysregulation of SIGLEC5-associated pathways can lead to improper immune cell activation and tissue damage. In the context of bacterial sepsis SIGLEC5 assists in dampening excessive immune responses and limiting inflammation. SIGLEC5 connects with proteins like DAP12 where aberrations could also influence disease progressions making it a target of interest for potential therapeutic interventions.
