MeSH definition : Type-I membrane glycoproteins that are expressed primarily on the surface of CD4 or
CD8-positive T-CELLS; NATURAL KILLER CELLS; and some populations of B CELLS. They
are characterized by an N-terminal, extracellular IMMUNOGLOBULIN-LIKE DOMAIN and a
membrane-proximal IMMUNOGLOBULIN C2-SET DOMAIN. SLAMF receptors typically signal through
homophilic interactions and are important for mediating the immune response and immune
cell differentiation.;
MeSH synonym : SLAM Family Receptors; Signaling Lymphocytic Activation Molecule Receptors; Signaling Lymphocytic Activation Molecule Family Receptors; Signaling Lymphocytic Activation Molecules; SLAMF Receptors;
