Preferentially binds to alpha-2,3-linked sialic acid. Also binds to 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 (PubMed:10625619). Recognizes simultaneously epitopes having a terminal N-acetylneuraminic acid (sialic acid) and an underlying 6-O-sulfated galactose. Preferentially binds to Gal-6-sulfated sialyl-Lewis X glycan epitopes (PubMed:27357658). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10625619, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10856141, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27357658}. |I-set| |V-set| |transmembrane signaling receptor activity| |carbohydrate binding| |cell adhesion| |biological adhesion| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp470|Chloroquine 32μM R08 exp470]]|1.99| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
