SIGLEC17P
Description
The SIGLEC17P (sialic acid binding Ig like lectin 17, pseudogene) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 19.
SIGLEC17P is a pseudogene located on chromosome 19. It is a paralog of SIGLEC17, which is a transmembrane protein involved in immune regulation and cell adhesion. While SIGLEC17P shares a high degree of sequence similarity with SIGLEC17, it is not functional due to the lack of critical features required for protein production.
SIGLEC17P, also known as sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 17 pseudogene, is a non-functional pseudogene located on human chromosome 19. It is a paralog of SIGLEC17, a transmembrane protein involved in immune regulation and cell adhesion. While SIGLEC17P shares a high degree of sequence similarity with its functional counterpart, it lacks the critical features necessary for protein production and function. Consequently, SIGLEC17P does not contribute to the immune system or other cellular processes.
SIGLEC17P is also known as HSPC078, SIGLECP2, SIGLECP3.
