Summary
CD33 (CD33 molecule, HGNC:1659) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.41, encoding Myeloid cell surface antigen CD33 (P20138). Sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec) that plays a role in mediating cell-cell interactions and in maintaining immune cells in a resting state.
Enables protein phosphatase binding activity; protein tyrosine phosphatase activator activity; and sialic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including immune response-regulating signaling pathway; negative regulation of cytokine production; and negative regulation of monocyte activation. Located in Golgi apparatus; external side of plasma membrane; and peroxisome.

Function. Sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin (Siglec) that plays a role in mediating cell-cell interactions and in maintaining immune cells in a resting state. Preferentially recognizes and binds alpha-2,3- and more avidly alpha-2,6-linked sialic acid-bearing glycans. Upon engagement of ligands such as C1q or syalylated glycoproteins, two immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) located in CD33 cytoplasmic tail are phosphorylated by Src-like kinases such as LCK. These phosphorylations provide docking sites for the recruitment and activation of protein-tyrosine phosphatases PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2. In turn, these phosphatases regulate downstream pathways through dephosphorylation of signaling molecules. One of the repressive effect of CD33 on monocyte activation requires phosphoinositide 3-kinase/PI3K.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2 upon phosphorylation. Interacts with C1QA (via C-terminus); this interaction activates CD33 inhibitory motifs.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane Peroxisome.
Tissue specificity. Monocytic/myeloid lineage cells. In the brain, CD33 is mainly expressed on microglial cells.
Post-translational modifications. Glycosylated. Glycosylation at Asn-100 is critical for regulating ligand recognition. Phosphorylation of Tyr-340 is involved in binding to PTPN6 and PTPN11. Phosphorylation of Tyr-358 is involved in binding to PTPN6. LCK phosphorylates Tyr-340 efficiently and Tyr-358 to a lesser extent.
Domain organisation. Contains 2 copies of a cytoplasmic motif that is referred to as the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM). This motif is involved in modulation of cellular responses. The phosphorylated ITIM motif can bind the SH2 domain of several SH2-containing phosphatases.
Miscellaneous. Mostly detected on NKL and myeloid cell lines but poorly expressed on B-cell lines and T-lymphocytes.
Similarity. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. SIGLEC (sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin) family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 46 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
