Product Overview
Tag | His |
Host Species | Human |
Accession | NP_525126.2 |
Synonym | CLEC-6, CLEC6, CLECSF8, MCL, MPCL |
Background | C-type lectin (CLEC) family is a type of carbohydrate-binding protein domain named lectin. C-type lectins are the most diverse and prevalent lectin family in immunity with its requirement for calcium for binding. Proteins including a C-type lectin domain have diverse range of functions including cell-cell adhesion, immune response to pathogens and apoptosis. There are at least 14 types of C-type lectins: type-… to type-…©-…£. CLEC4D(CLECSF8) is a type-…¡ membrane glycoprotein belonging to the C-type lectin family, with restricted expression in the monocyte/macrophage lineage. It plays important roles in the function of macrophages. |
Description | A DNA sequence encoding the human CLEC4D (NP_525126.2) extracellular domain (Gly 52-Asn 215) was expressed, with a His tag at the N-terminus. |
Source | HEK293 |
Predicted N Terminal | His |
AA Sequence | Gly 52-Asn 215 |
Molecular Weight | The recombinant human CLEC4D consists of 180 a.a. and has a calculated molecular mass of 21.2 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, rhCLEC4D migrates as several bands with apparent molecular mass of 21-27 kDa due to different glycosylation. |
Purity | >92% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
Endotoxin | < 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method |
Bioactivity | Please contact us for detailed information |
Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. |
Stability | The recombinant proteins are stable for up to 1 year from date of receipt at -70°C. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |
Storage | Store the protein under sterile conditions at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
Target Details
Target Function | Calcium-dependent lectin that acts as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) of the innate immune system: recognizes damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of bacteria and fungi. The PAMPs include alpha-mannans on C.albicans hypheas and mycobacterial trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate (TDM). Interacts with signaling adapter Fc receptor gamma chain/FCER1G, likely via CLEC4E, to form a functional complex in myeloid cells. Binding of mycobacterial TDM or C.albicans alpha-mannans to this receptor complex leads to phosphorylation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) of FCER1G, triggering activation of SYK, CARD9 and NF-kappa-B, consequently driving maturation of antigen-presenting cells and shaping antigen-specific priming of T-cells toward effector T-helper 1 and T-helper 17 cell subtypes. The heterodimer formed with CLEC6A is active against fungal infection. Functions as an endocytic receptor. May be involved in antigen uptake at the site of infection, either for clearance of the antigen, or for processing and further presentation to T-cells. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. |

Tissue Specificity | Expressed weakly in peripheral blood leukocytes, bone marrow and spleen. Expression is confined mostly in monocytes and macrophage and seems to be up-regulated by IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma. |
