Description
PE anti-human CD369 (Dectin-1/CLEC7A). CD369 (Dectin-1), also known as?CLEC7A and beta-glucan receptor (BGR), is a 33 kD type II transmembrane C-type lectin. It consists of a C-terminal stalk with a carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) in the extracellular domain, a transmembrane segment, and a short N-terminal ITAM containing a cytoplasmic tail. CLEC7A is predominantly expressed on dendritic cells. Subsequent work has shown expression on B cells, monocytes, eosinophils, mast cells, macrophages, endothelial cells, and low expression on some subsets of T cells. CLEC7A lacks residues involved in calcium ligation that mediates carbohydrate-binding by classical C-type lectins. CLEC7A functions as a receptor to mediate innate immunity to fungal pathogens by selectively binding beta-glucan polymers, a major component of yeast and mycobacterial cell walls.?
