[sialic acid binding immunoglobulin-like lectin 6] This protein is a member of a family of type 1 transmembrane proteins. They are cell surface lectins that have the ability to bind to sialic acids and mediate interactions between proteins and carbohydrates (see also: SIGLECs). Several studies describing the sialoside specificities of individual SIGLECs have been reported (Blixt et al, 2003; Rapoport et al, 2006).
The cDNA encoding this protein of 442 amino acids has been identified by Takei et al (1997), who called it CD33 antigen-like (CD33L) due to high sequence similarity with the myeloid antigen CD33. They also identified an alternatively spliced transcript lacking the transmembrane and cytoplasmic regions of the protein,
