Anti-SIGLEC5, NT (SIGLEC5, CD33L2, OBBP2, Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 5, CD33 antigen-like 2,

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]). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot, ELISA, Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:1,000, Western Blot: 1:100-500, Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
