Also known as Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin, sialoadhesin, sialic acid binding immunoglobulin-like lectins, sialic acid binding immunoglobulin-like lectin
Siglecs (Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type lectins) are cell surface proteins that bind sialic acid. They are found primarily on the surface of immune cells and are a subset of the I-type lectins. There are 14 different mammalian Siglecs, providing an array of different functions based on cell surface receptor-ligand interactions.
