MeSH definition : A family of SIALIC ACID binding proteins found in vertebrate species. They are transmembrane
proteins which act as cell surface receptors for a variety of sialylated GLYCOCONJUGATES.
While a subset of siglec protein subtypes are evolutionarily conserved between mammalian
species, there are many others that are species specific.;
