Background Information
CD169, also known as sheep erythrocyte receptor (SER), Sialoadhesin (Sn) or Siglec-1, is a sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin that belongs to the SIGLEC family of the Ig superfamily (PMID: 3783087; 11133773). CD169 is a single-pass transmembrane protein containing a long extracellular domain, a transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic tail (PMID: 11133773). It is primarily expressed on the surface of specific macrophage subsets and its precursor monocytes, as well as on some DCs (PMID: 33408860). CD169 binds to sialic acid-containing glycoconjugates, particularly those with α(2,3)-linkages. It is involved in immune regulation, pathogen recognition, and cell-cell interactions.
