SLAMF6, 22-226aa, Human, His-tag, Baculovirus

SLAMF6, also known as SLAM family member 6 isoform 1, belongs to the SLAM family of immune cell receptors. It is a novel receptor on T cells that, when engaged, potentiates T cell expansion in a CD28-independent manner. This protein is expressed on NK-, T-, and B cells. It undergoes tyrosine phosphorylation and associates with the Src homology 2 domain-containing protein (SH2D1A) as well as with SH2 domain-containing phosphatases (SHPs). It may function as a coreceptor in the process of NK cell activation. Recombinant human SLAMF6 protein, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
