SLAMF7 SLAM family member 7

ENSG00000026751 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Self-ligand receptor of the signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) family. SLAM receptors triggered by homo- or heterotypic cell-cell interactions are modulating the activation and differentiation of a wide variety of immune cells and thus are involved in the regulation and interconnection of both innate and adaptive immune response. Activities are controlled by presence or absence of small cytoplasmic adapter proteins, SH2D1A/SAP and/or SH2D1B/EAT-2. Isoform 1 mediates NK cell activation through a SH2D1A-independent extracellular signal-regulated ERK-mediated pathway (PubMed:11698418). Positively regulates NK cell functions by a mechanism dependent on phosphorylated SH2D1B. Downstream signaling implicates PLCG1, PLCG2 and PI3K (PubMed:16339536). In addition to heterotypic NK cells-target cells interactions also homotypic interactions between NK cells may contribute to activation. However, in the absence of SH2D1B, inhibits NK cell function. Also acts inhibitory in T-cells (By similarity). May play a role in lymphocyte adhesion (PubMed:11802771). In LPS-activated monocytes negatively regulates production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (PubMed:23695528). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8BHK6, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11698418, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11802771, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339536, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23695528, ECO:0000269|Ref.4}.

1 of the 2 drugs recorded against SLAMF7 is approved

Each band is a group of drugs. It runs from the kind of drug on the left to the furthest stage that drug has reached in any disease on the right. Thicker bands mean more drugs.

Approved bands are highlighted. Withdrawn means the drug was pulled from the market or from development. A combined phase counts as the later one (Phase 1/2 is shown as Phase 2). Hover a band for the drug names. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

SLAMF7: inherited and tumour-mutation evidence across 15 cancers

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.763480007648468 (upper bound 1.059399962425232). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.

Who runs trials of these drugs

Principal investigators and study chairs on 33 registry trials, updated in the last three years, of the most advanced drugs against SLAMF7 (elotuzumab), ranked by Phase 2+ trials. Live from ClinicalTrials.gov.

19 of 32 trials of drugs against SLAMF7 have sites only in United States

Registry trials of elotuzumab updated in the last three years, counted by the country group of their listed sites. A trial with sites in several groups counts in each; 20 of 32 have all sites in one country.
