SIRP alpha/CD172a Protein, Mouse (BAA20376, HEK293, Fc)

SIRP alpha/CD172a Protein functions as an immunoglobulin-like cell surface receptor for CD47, facilitating the translocation of PTPN6, PTPN11, and other binding partners from the cytosol to the plasma membrane. This receptor plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, including supporting adhesion of cerebellar neurons, promoting neurite outgrowth, and facilitating glial cell attachment. Additionally, SIRP alpha/CD172a is implicated in intracellular signaling during synaptogenesis and synaptic function. Its negative regulatory role extends to receptor tyrosine kinase-coupled responses induced by cell adhesion, growth factors, or insulin. Furthermore, SIRP alpha/CD172a participates in the negative modulation of phagocytosis, mast cell activation, and dendritic cell activation, with CD47 binding preventing dendritic cell maturation and inhibiting cytokine production. Notably, it contributes to antiviral immunity by limiting new world arenavirus infection, specifically by decreasing virus internalization. The receptor also interacts with THBS1, participating in ROS signaling in non-phagocytic cells and stimulating NADPH oxidase-derived ROS production. SIRP alpha/CD172a engages in diverse protein interactions, including binding to PTPN11, GRB2, FGR, JAK2, SCAP1, SCAP2, FYB1, PTK2B, and TRIM2.
