Western Blot (Tissue lysate)

The SIGLEC5 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB3634) is used in Western blot to detect SIGLEC5 in mouse liver tissue lysate.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections)

Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with SIGLEC5 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB3634) , which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry ; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma.

Gene Summary

The sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins (SIGLECs), such as SIGLEC5, are a subgroup of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily that mediate protein-carbohydrate interactions. They specifically interact with sialic acids in glycoproteins and glycolipids, with each SIGLEC having a particular preference for both the nature of the sialic acid and its glycosidic linkage to adjacent sugars. SIGLECs have similar structures, including extracellular Ig-like domains composed of an N-terminal V-set domain followed by varying numbers of C2-set domains. It appears that all SIGLECs have an unusual arrangement of conserved cysteine residues in the V-set and adjacent C2-set domains. Most SIGLECs are expressed uniquely within the hematopoietic system (Cornish et al., 1998 [PubMed 9731071]).[supplied by OMIM
