Recombinant Human CD33 Protein (Met1-His259)

• Cat.No.: CD33-551H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human CD33 Protein (AAH28152.1) (Met1-His259) was produced by HEK293 Cells expression system. This protein was expressed with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Specification

• Description: Myeloid cell surface antigen CD33 also known as Sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 3, CD33 antigen or Siglec-3, is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and SIGLEC (sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin) family. This Single-pass type I membrane protein contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain and 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. CD33 /Siglec-3 is a putative adhesion molecule of myelomonocytic-derived cells that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to cells. CD33 /Siglec-3 preferentially binds to alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid. The sialic acid recognition site may be masked by cis interactions with sialic acids on the same cell surface. In the immune response, may act as an inhibitory receptor upon ligand induced tyrosine phosphorylation by recruiting cytoplasmic phosphatase(s) via their SH2 domain(s) that block signal transduction through dephosphorylation of signaling molecules. CD33/Siglec-3 induces apoptosis in acute myeloid leukemia (in vitro). CD33/Siglec-3 can function as a sialic acid-dependent cell adhesion molecule and that binding can be modulated by endogenous sialoglycoconjugates when CD33 is expressed in a plasma membrane.

Q&As

What are the implications of CD33 polymorphisms in therapeutic targeting?

Certain polymorphisms in the CD33 gene can influence its expression on the cell surface, which might affect the efficacy of CD33-targeted therapies.

What is the primary biological function of CD33 in hematopoietic cells?

CD33 is a transmembrane receptor primarily expressed on cells of myeloid lineage and is involved in modulating cellular functions, including the regulation of cellular proliferation and differentiation.

How does CD33 expression vary among different leukocyte populations?

CD33 is predominantly expressed on myeloid cells, especially on immature myeloid cells. Its expression decreases as these cells differentiate and is typically low or absent on lymphoid cells.

How has CD33 been utilized as a therapeutic target in hematological malignancies?

CD33 has been targeted for therapeutic antibodies in AML. An example is gemtuzumab ozogamicin, which targets CD33 and delivers a cytotoxic agent specifically to leukemia cells expressing CD33.

How does CD33 signaling influence myeloid cell differentiation?

While the exact signaling pathways of CD33 are still under investigation, it is believed that CD33 signaling can influence the differentiation and function of myeloid cells, potentially playing a role in immune regulation.

What role does CD33 play in acute myeloid leukemia (AML)?

CD33 is commonly expressed on the surface of AML blasts, making it a potential target for therapeutic interventions in AML.

Are there known ligands that bind specifically to CD33?

The specific ligands for CD33 are not fully characterized, but it is believed to play a role in cell-cell interactions within the immune system.
