Summary
SELL (selectin L, HGNC:10720) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q24.2, encoding L-selectin (P14151). Calcium-dependent lectin that mediates cell adhesion by binding to glycoproteins on neighboring cells.
This gene encodes a cell surface adhesion molecule that belongs to a family of adhesion/homing receptors. The encoded protein contains a C-type lectin-like domain, a calcium-binding epidermal growth factor-like domain, and two short complement-like repeats. The gene product is required for binding and subsequent rolling of leucocytes on endothelial cells, facilitating their migration into secondary lymphoid organs and inflammation sites. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with various diseases including immunoglobulin A nephropathy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Function. Calcium-dependent lectin that mediates cell adhesion by binding to glycoproteins on neighboring cells. Mediates the adherence of lymphocytes to endothelial cells of high endothelial venules in peripheral lymph nodes. Promotes initial tethering and rolling of leukocytes in endothelia.
Subunit / interactions. Interaction with SELPLG/PSGL1 and PODXL2 is required for promoting recruitment and rolling of leukocytes. This interaction is dependent on the sialyl Lewis X glycan modification of SELPLG and PODXL2, and tyrosine sulfation modifications of SELPLG. Sulfation on ‘Tyr-51’ of SELPLG is important for L-selectin binding.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in B-cell lines and T-lymphocytes.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated.
Similarity. Belongs to the selectin/LECAM family.

Drugs & pharmacology
Drug and pharmacology data
Is drug target: yes
ChEMBL targets (2): CHEMBL3161 (SINGLE PROTEIN), CHEMBL3831288 (PROTEIN FAMILY)
Drugs by curated mechanism of action (ChEMBL)
Drugs whose curated ChEMBL mechanism of action targets the SELL protein itself — single-protein targets only (drugs acting on a protein family or complex that merely includes it are excluded). Includes antibodies and oligonucleotides that bioactivity screening does not capture.
2 curated-mechanism drugs:
| Drug | Modality | Max phase |
|---|---|---|
| RIVIPANSEL | Small molecule | 3 |
| ASELIZUMAB | Antibody | 2 |
Drugs acting on a complex or family that includes this protein
Curated ChEMBL mechanism-of-action drugs whose target is a protein complex or family of ≤10 members that includes SELL — the drug acts on the assembly or class, not necessarily on this subunit alone.
1 drugs via a complex or family:
| Drug | Target (ChEMBL) | Members | Max phase |
|---|---|---|---|
| BIMOSIAMOSE | Selectin | 3 | 2 |
Molecules with ChEMBL bioactivity
Phase ≥1, by development phase (incl. off-target/promiscuous compounds). Patent mentions across the top 20 by phase: 104,183 (via chembl_molecule»patent_compound — counts attach to the compound, not the gene–compound relationship, so off-target/promiscuous molecules can dominate).
