    Siglecs are receptors that regulate immune responses through both inhibitory and activating signaling pathways.

  • 2

    They recognize sialoglycan ligands, influencing both innate and adaptive immunity.

  • 3

    Dysregulation of Siglecs is linked to various diseases, including cancer and autoimmune disorders.

  • 4

    Key regulatory mechanisms for Siglecs include transcription factors, microRNAs, and protein interactions.

  • 5

    Targeting the Siglec glycan axis presents potential therapeutic opportunities for immune-related diseases.
