Facts about Myeloid cell surface antigen CD33.
Upon engagement of ligands such as C1q or syalylated glycoproteins, two immunoreceptor tyrosine- based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) located in CD33 cytoplasmic tail are phosphorylated by Src-like kinases such as LCK (PubMed:28325905, PubMed:10887109). These phosphorylations provide docking sites for the recruitment and activation of protein- tyrosine phosphatases PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2 (PubMed:10556798, PubMed:10206955, PubMed:10887109).

Monocytic/myeloid lineage cells. In the brain, CD33 is mainly expressed on microglial cells.
[Isoform CD33M]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.; [Isoform CD33m]: Peroxisome. CD33m isoform does not localize to cell surfaces but instead accumulates in peroxisomes.
