Activity summary

SLAMF7 also known as CS1 is a glycoprotein with a mass of approximately 70 kDa. This protein localizes on the surface of immune cells mainly on natural killer (NK) cells certain subsets of T cells and mature dendritic cells. It does not express in resting B cells but can be induced upon activation. CS1 plays a role in immune modulation by facilitating cell-to-cell interactions and activating various signaling pathways that enable immune responses.

Biological function summary

SLAMF7/CS1 modulates immune functions by engaging in interactions with other cell surface receptors. It often operates in the context of hematopoietic cells integrating signals that influence cell proliferation differentiation and survival. It does not require an associated adaptor molecule like most of the SLAM family members as it signals through its ability to recruit EAT-2. The CS1 protein modulates pathways related to immune cell activation and control making it an important player in the regulation of immune responses.

Pathways

CS1 participates prominently in immune signaling pathways where it interacts with proteins such as SAP and EAT-2. It is particularly involved in the immunoregulatory interactions contributing to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity and modulation of T-cell responses. These interactions illustrate CS1's role in the modulation of immune responses positioning it within the broader network of immune signaling pathways important for maintaining immune homeostasis and defense mechanisms.

Associated diseases and disorders

SLAMF7/CS1 shows key relevance in multiple myeloma and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In multiple myeloma CS1 presents an overexpression and serves as a therapeutic target; its relationship with CD38 another important marker illustrates the potential for targeted therapies. In SLE improper signaling involving CS1 can contribute to the dysregulation of immune responses. Overall the intricate interactions of CS1 with other proteins highlight its significance in disease pathology and therapeutic potential.
