Description
Product Characteristics: SLAMF8, SLAM family member 8, BLAME, FLJ20442, MGC129578, SBBI42, B lymphocyte activator macrophage expressed, BCM-like membrane protein
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the CD2 family of cell surface proteins involved in lymphocyte activation. These proteins are characterized by Ig domains. This protein is expressed in lymphoid tissues, and studies of a similar protein in mouse suggest that it may function during B cell lineage commitment. The gene is found in a region of chromosome 1 containing many CD2 genes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
