Protein Function
Lectin-type cell surface receptor which may play a role in antigen capturing by dendritic cells. Specifically recognizes non-sialylated galactose-terminated biantennary glycans containing the trisaccharide epitope Gal (beta1-3/4)GlcNAc (beta1-2)Man. Binds to serum IgG. Efficiently targets ligand into antigen-processing and peptide-loading compartments for presentation to T-cells. May mediate potent inhibition of induction of IFN-alpha/beta expression in plasmacytoid dendritic cells. May act as a signaling receptor that activates protein-tyrosine kinases and mobilizes intracellular calcium.
Background
CLEC4C is a membrane protein of plasmacytoid dendritic cells used as a marker for this kind of cells and denoted as CD303 in the nomenclature of the Cluster of differentiation. This gene is mapped to 12p13.31. This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signalling, glycoprotein tuover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The encoded type 2 transmembrane protein may play a role in dendritic cell function. Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.
