The gene SIGLEC14 (sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin 14) encodes a member of the Siglec family of sialic acid-binding lectins. It is found to be expressed mainly on granulocytes and monocytes. Human Siglec-14 is very similar to human Siglec-5 in terms of the sequence. The members of this family are receptors of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and are expressed on immune cells. The encoded protein has three Ig-like domains and preferentially binds to glycan. It also interacts with the activating adapter protein DAP12. The N-terminal region in both the proteins is almost identical and this indicates partial gene conversion between SIGLEC14 and SIGLEC5. The essential amino acid arginine of this protein, that participates in the recognition of sialic acid, is present in humans and is mutated in other apes.
