Official Full Name: SLAM family member 8
Also known as: BLAME; CD353; SBBI42
This gene encodes a member of the CD2 family of cell surface proteins involved in lymphocyte activation. These proteins are characterized by an Ig domain. The protein is expressed in lymphoid tissues, and studies of similar proteins in mice suggest that it may play a role in B-cell lineage commitment. This gene is located in a region of chromosome 1 that contains many CD2 genes.
