(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID56833
Official gene symbolSLAMF8
Full nameSLAM family member 8
Aliases,BLAME,FLJ20442,MGC129578,SBBI42,
Gene summaryThis 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]
