Anti-Mouse CD169/SIGLEC1 Polyclonal Antibody

Sialoadhesin (CD169/SIGLEC1) is a ~182 kDa protein. Macrophage-restricted adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to lymphocytes, including granulocytes, monocytes, natural killer cells, B-cells and CD8 T-cells. Plays a crucial role in limiting bacterial dissemination by engaging sialylated bacteria to promote effective phagocytosis and antigen presentation for the adaptive immune response. Mediates the uptake of various enveloped viruses via sialic acid recognition and subsequently induces the formation of intracellular compartments filled with virions (VCCs). In turn, enhances macrophage-to-T-cell transmission of several viruses including murine leukemia virus. Acts as an endocytic receptor mediating clathrin dependent endocytosis.
