| Name | Cellular distribution | Sialic acid linkage specificity | No. of C2-Ig domains | ITIM or positive residue |

This table briefly summarises the cellular distribution of each human Siglec; the linkage specificity each has for sialic acid binding; the number of C2-Ig domains it contains; and whether it contains an ITIM or a positive residue to bind ITAM-containing adaptor proteins. The Siglecs in italics are conserved between humans and mice. References in the column headings correspond to all information displayed in that column, unless other references are shown. Siglec-12 information is referenced by only, excluding the linkage specificity.

Famous quotes containing the word human:
“If only he would not pity us so much,
Weaken our fate, relieve us of woe both great
And small, a constant fellow of destiny,
A too, too human god, self-pity’s kin
And uncourageous genesis . . .”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
