| Immunopharmacology Comments |
| CD300a is a member of the CD300 family of leucocyte surface receptors [6], a family known to regulate a diverse array of immune cell processes. Expression of CD300a is found in cells of myeloid lineage. CD300a contains ITIMs (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs) in its cytoplasmic tail which facilitate inhibitory signalling [8]. CD300a binds phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine (aminophospholipids exposed on the outer leaflet of dead and activated cells). The family relationship, expression pattern and ligand binding profile suggest roles for CD300a in modulation of immune functions and participation in host responses to a number disease states, including infectious diseases, cancer, allergy, and chronic inflammatory diseases [15]. Some CD300a functions include: Inhibition of IgE-induced mast cell degranulation [5] Inhibition of eotaxin-dependent transmigration of eosinophils Reduced TNFα and increased IFNα secretion by human plasmacytoid dendritic cells [1] CD300a also activates SH2-containing tyrosine phosphatase 1 (SHP-1) involved in TLR9/MyD88-mediated signalling [12]. Despite its disease relevance [15], no progress has been made in developing clinical candidates directly targeting CD300a, but in vitro studies have shown that cross-linking CD300a to KIT [3] or IgE [4] (using bispecific antibodies/antibody fragments) abrogates KIT signalling and allergic reaction (mast cell degranulation) respectively. |

| General Comments |
| This protein contains an immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domain that resembles the antibody variable domain, that has been coined the 'V-set domain'. The genes for all human V-set domain containing proteins are listed in HGNC gene group 590. |
