The sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins
(SIGLECs), such as SIGLEC5, are a subgroup of the immunoglobulin
(Ig) superfamily that mediate protein-carbohydrate interactions.
They specifically interact with sialic acids in glycoproteins and
glycolipids, with each SIGLEC having a particular preference for
both the nature of the sialic acid and its glycosidic linkage to
adjacent sugars. SIGLECs have similar structures, including
extracellular Ig-like domains composed of an N-terminal V-set
domain followed by varying numbers of C2-set domains. It appears
that all SIGLECs have an unusual arrangement of conserved cysteine
residues in the V-set and adjacent C2-set domains. Most SIGLECs are
expressed uniquely within the hematopoietic system (Cornish et al.,
1998 [PubMed 9731071]).1) Soto, P.C., et al. J. Immunol. 184(8):4185-4195(2010)
