Schematic diagram of selected Ig-superfamily members bearing one or more ITIMs (adapted from ref. 48). See Table 2 for a complete list of Ig-ITIM family members that bind SHP-1, SHP-2, or both, as well as the detailed amino acid sequence separating the paired ITIMs. Ig, immunoglobulin; ILT, Ig-like transcript; ITIM, immunoreceptor tyrosine–based inhibitory motif; KIR, killer inhibitory receptor; PECAM-1, platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1; PIR-B, paired Ig-like receptor-braking protein; SIRP, signal regulatory protein.

Figure 2
Organization of the genes encoding selected Ig-CAMs and Ig-ITIM family members. Note that Ig-ITIM family genes often contain a mini-exon encoding all or part of the signal peptide, and their cytoplasmic domains are encoded by multiple exons. Both of these features differ significantly from that of Ig-CAMs, in which the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains, as well as the 3′-untranslated region, are often encoded by a single, fused exon. ICAM-1, intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1; Ig-CAMs, Ig-like cell adhesion molecules; VCAM-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule-1.
