SLAMF2/CD48 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

SLAMF2/CD48 is a GPI-anchored glycoprotein that regulates immune cells. It interacts with receptors like CD2 and CD244/2B4, activating LCK and LAT in T-cell signaling. SLAMF2 also phosphorylates CD244, leading to immunological synapse formation and targeted release of cytolytic granules by T-lymphocytes and NK-cells. Its direct interactions with CD2, CD244, and LCK contribute to immune response regulation. SLAMF2/CD48 Protein, Rat (HEK293, His) is the recombinant rat-derived SLAMF2/CD48 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag.

Background

SLAMF2, also known as CD48, is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in immune cell regulation. Through its N-terminal immunoglobulin domain, SLAMF2 interacts with cell surface receptors, such as 2B4/CD244 or CD2, to modulate immune cell function and activation. In T-cell signaling transduction, SLAMF2 forms complexes with CD2, facilitating the recruitment of the Src family protein kinase LCK and LAT to the TCR/CD3 complex. This interaction leads to the phosphorylation and subsequent activation of LCK. Additionally, SLAMF2 induces the phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine switch motifs (ITSMs) of CD244, initiating signaling events that culminate in the formation of the immunological synapse and the targeted release of cytolytic granules containing perforin and granzymes by T-lymphocytes and NK-cells. SLAMF2 establishes direct interactions with CD2, CD244, and LCK, contributing to its regulatory role in immune responses.
