Sialyl-Lewis X
Synonyms: sLeX
Sialyl-Lewis X (sLeX) is a sialylated fucosylated tetrasaccharide that serves as a high-affinity ligand for selectins, including E-, P-, and L-selectin. This compound is critical in mediating cell adhesion and plays a pivotal role in the recruitment of neutrophils to inflammatory sites by binding to ELAM-1 and CD62. Research applications include studying inflammation, immune responses, and potential therapeutic targets for inflammatory diseases.
