Facts about SLAM family member 7.
Tasks are controlled by presence or absence of small cytoplasmic adapter proteins, SH2D1A/SAP or SH2D1B/EAT-2. Isoform 1 mediates NK cell activation via a SH2D1A-independent extracellular signal- regulated ERK-mediated pathway (PubMed:11698418).

Expressed in spleen, lymph node, peripheral blood leukocytes, bone marrow, small intestine, stomach, appendix, lung and trachea. Expression was detected in NK cells, activated B-cells, NK-cell line but not in promyelocytic, B-, or T-cell lines. Expressed in monocytes. Isoform 3 is expressed at much lower level than isoform 1.
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
