“…Two reports in 2009 identifying CD24 in mouse brain with structures containing α2,3-linked NeuAc, disialyl motifs, Lewis x sLe x or HNK-1 epitopes in O-glycans [37], and α2, 3-linked N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc), Lewis x H antigens, bisecting N-acetylglucosamine in N-glycans [38] ( Table 1). Evidence shows that the glycosylation pattern seems to be variable in different tissues, which may account for the functional diversity of CD24 [39]. There are several ligands found to bind to CD24 protein, including P-selectin is expressed by many cell types, including immature lymphocytes, developing neuronal cells, regenerating muscle cells, granulocytes, monocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, keratinocytes, epidermal Langerhans cells, epithelial cells, and erythrocytes [40], sialic-acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectin-G (Siglec-G, mouse) or Siglec 10 (human) [41], neural recognition molecule L1 [42], TAG-1, Contactin [43], and some damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) such as HMGB1 [41].…”
