Sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SIGLEC6gene.[3] The gene was originally named CD33L (CD33-like) due to similarities between these genes but later became known as OB-BP1 (OB [leptin]-binding protein 1) due to its ability to bind to this factor and, finally, SIGLEC6 as the sixth member of the SIGLEC family of receptors to be identified.[4] The protein has also been given the CD designation CD327.[5]
