SIGLEC9 (Sialic Acid Binding Ig Like Lectin 9) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are Class I MHC mediated antigen processing and presentation and Innate Immune System. GO annotations related to this gene include carbohydrate binding. An important paralog of this gene is SIGLEC7. Putative adhesion molecule that mediates sialic-acid dependent binding to cells. Preferentially binds to alpha-2,3- or alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid. The sialic acid recognition site may be masked by cis interactions with sialic acids on the same cell surface.
