    Product Description

    CD33 is a transmembrane receptor and member of the sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-type (Ig-type) lectin (SIGLEC) family.1 It is composed of N-terminal extracellular Ig-like variable (IgV) and Ig-like constant 2 (IgC2) domains, as well as intracellular immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and ITIM-like (ITL) domains. CD33 has two isoforms formed via alternative splicing, a full-length form and CD33m, which lacks the IgV-like domain.2 The full-length form is expressed on myeloid progenitor cells and in microglia while CD33m is found in myeloid cells and lymphocytes.1,2 CD33 is an inhibitory receptor activated by binding of sialic acid-containing molecules, such as glycolipids and glycoproteins, to the IgV domain, which stimulates phosphorylation of tyrosine in the ITIM domain, leading to recruitment of Src homology 2 domain-containing phosphatases (SHPs) and internalization of the CD33-ligand complex.3 Signaling downstream of CD33 inhibits phagocytosis and cytokine release from immune cells, as well as regulates immune cell growth and survival. CD33 protein is found on patient-derived acute myeloid leukemia (AML) progenitor cells but not non-cancerous stem cells.4 A SNP in CD33 is associated with, and considered a risk factor for, Alzheimer’s disease.1 Cayman’s CD33 (C-Term) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody (RM398) can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB) applications.
