Proteins in the signaling lymphocytic activating molecule (SLAM) family play crucial roles in regulating the immune system. CD244 (SLAMF4) is a protein in this family, and is also a member of the CD2 subset of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. CD244 is a cell surface protein expressed by NK cells, T cells, monocytes, eosinophils, myeloid-derived suppressor cells, and dendritic cells. CD244 binds to the ligand CD48 on adjacent cells and transmits stimulatory or inhibitory signals that regulate immune function. In-depth studies reported that CD244 functions in many immune-related diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and cancers, and its action is essential for the onset and progression of these diseases. The discovery of these essential roles of CD244 suggests it has potential as a prognostic indicator or therapeutic target. This review describes the molecular structure and function of CD244 and its roles in various immune cells and immune-related diseases.
信号淋巴细胞激活分子(SLAM)家族中的蛋白质在调节免疫系统中起着至关重要的作用。CD244(SLAMF4)是该家族中的一种蛋白质,也是免疫球蛋白(Ig)超家族 CD2 亚组的成员。CD244 是一种表达于 NK 细胞、T 细胞、单核细胞、嗜酸性粒细胞、髓系来源的抑制细胞和树突状细胞表面的蛋白。CD244 与相邻细胞上的配体 CD48 结合,传递调节免疫功能的刺激或抑制信号。深入的研究报道,CD244 在许多与免疫相关的疾病中发挥作用,如自身免疫性疾病、传染病和癌症,其作用对于这些疾病的发生和进展是必不可少的。CD244 的这些重要作用的发现表明它有作为预后指标或治疗靶标的潜力。本文综述了 CD244 的分子结构和功能及其在各种免疫细胞和免疫相关疾病中的作用。
