SIRPB1 Signal regulatory protein beta 1 · CD172b

SIRPB1 (signal regulatory protein beta 1, also known as CD172b, SIRP-BETA-1 and SIRB1) is an immunoglobulin-like cell surface receptor of the SIRP family. It is linked to the regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase-coupled signalling and to activation of myeloid cells through TYROBP.

Target information

What is SIRPB1 (signal regulatory protein beta 1)?

SIRPB1 is an immunoglobulin-like cell surface receptor. UniProt annotates it as involved in the negative regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase-coupled signalling processes, and it also participates in the recruitment of the tyrosine kinase SYK. When associated with TYROBP, it triggers activation of myeloid cells. NCBI Gene reports that the protein interacts with TYROBP, also called DAP12, an adaptor that bears immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs.

The SIRPB1 gene encodes a member of the signal-regulatory-protein (SIRP) family, which belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. SIRP family members are receptor-type transmembrane glycoproteins, and the SIRPB1 protein is localised to the cell membrane. According to RefSeq, multiple transcript variants of the gene encode different isoforms. The protein is a single-pass receptor of the kind studied in myeloid cell signalling.

In HGNC, SIRPB1 is classified among CD molecules, V-set domain containing genes, C1-set domain containing genes and the signal regulatory proteins group. Its alternative names include CD172b, SIRP-BETA-1 and SIRB1. Researchers studying the SIRPB1 protein often examine it alongside other SIRP family receptors and the TYROBP adaptor to understand how activating and inhibitory signals are balanced at the cell surface.

Myeloid cell activation

SIRPB1 triggers activation of myeloid cells when associated with TYROBP, making it relevant to studies of myeloid receptor signalling.

Immunoreceptor adaptor signalling

SIRPB1 interacts with TYROBP/DAP12, an adaptor carrying immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs, so it is useful for studying ITAM-linked pathways.

SYK recruitment studies

SIRPB1 participates in the recruitment of the tyrosine kinase SYK, a step relevant to downstream signal transduction analysis.

SIRP family biology

As a SIRP family member, SIRPB1 helps researchers compare receptors involved in negative regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase-coupled signalling.

Background
