NCIt definition : SLAM family member 7 (335 aa, 37 kDa) is encoded by the human SLAMF7 gene. This protein
is involved in signal transduction that promotes the activation of natural killer
cells.;
NCIt note : SLAM family member 7 may be a target for elotuzumab in the treatment of multiple myeloma.; There are 3 isoforms of SLAM family member 7 that result from alternative splicing.
SLAM family member 7 isoform 3 is known as 19A24 protein and does not have the same
natural killer cell activation activity as the canonical isoform 1. (UniProt);
