Target/Specificity | CD48; Two isoforms of SLAMF2 are known to exist; this antibody will recognize both isoforms. SLAMF2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with other SLAM protein family members. |
Reconstitution & Storage | SLAMF2 antibody can be stored at 4℃ for three months and -20℃, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures. |
Precautions | SLAMF2 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CD48 |

Synonyms | BCM1, BLAST1 |
Function | Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface glycoprotein that interacts via its N-terminal immunoglobulin domain with cell surface receptors including CD244/2B4 or CD2 to regulate immune cell function and activation (PubMed:12007789, PubMed:19494291, PubMed:27249817, PubMed:9841922). Participates in T-cell signaling transduction by associating with CD2 and efficiently bringing the Src family protein kinase LCK and LAT to the TCR/CD3 complex (PubMed:19494291). In turn, promotes LCK phosphorylation and subsequent activation (PubMed:12007789). Induces the phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic immunoreceptortyrosine switch motifs (ITSMs) of CD244 initiating a series of signaling events that leads to the generation of the immunological synapse and the directed release of cytolytic granules containing perforin and granzymes by T-lymphocytes and NK- cells (PubMed:27249817). |

Background
SLAMF2 Antibody: The signaling lymphocyte-activation molecule family member 2 (SLAMF2), also known as CD48, is a GPI-anchored protein that exists as both a soluble and membrane-associated form and is expressed in almost all leukocyte populations particularly in mitogen-stimulated human lymphocytes. SLAMF2 is a high-affinity ligand for SLAMF4, also known as 2B4, as well as a low-affinity ligand for CD2, and can thus can stimulate cells expressing these receptors. It has been shown to be an IL-3-induced activating receptor on eosinophils and is likely to be involved in promoting allergic inflammation. SLAMF2 is also thought to be involved in the IL-18/IL-18R signaling cascade in T and natural killer cells to produce interferon-gamma.
