CD150 ELISA Kits

Target Information

CD150, also known as SLAM (Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecule), is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily and plays a crucial role in T cell stimulation and immune cell interactions. It is constitutively expressed on peripheral blood memory T cells, T cell clones, immature thymocytes, and a proportion of B cells. CD150 expression is rapidly upregulated upon activation, particularly on naive T cells, Th1 cells, and activated B cells, which express the membrane-bound, soluble, and cytoplasmic isoforms of SLAM. In T cells, signaling through SLAM induces proliferation and enhances the interferon-gamma response. SLAM is also involved in adhesion between T cells and antigen-presenting cells, facilitating immune cell interactions. Homophilic SLAM-SLAM binding during B to B and B to T cell interactions is suggested to enhance the expansion and differentiation of activated B cells. CD150 serves as a receptor for the measles virus and acts as a co-activator on T and B cells. It interacts with SH2D1A and PTPN11 via its cytoplasmic domain, playing a role in signal transduction. Mutations in the CD150 gene may be associated with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP), highlighting its importance in immune regulation and disease pathology.
