Recombinant Human C-type lectin domain family 5 member A (CLEC5A), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q9NY25

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CLEC5A

Target Full Name

C-type lectin domain family 5 member A

Target Function

Functions as a positive regulator of osteoclastogenesis. Cell surface receptor that signals via TYROBP. Regulates inflammatory responses.; (Microbial infection) Critical macrophage receptor for dengue virus serotypes 1-4. The binding of dengue virus to CLEC5A triggers signaling through the phosphorylation of TYROBP. This interaction does not result in viral entry, but stimulates proinflammatory cytokine release.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in bone marrow with lower levels in synovium, lung and bronchus. Expressed in peripheral blood monocytes and in the monocyte/macrophage cell lines U-937 and Mono-Mac-6, but not in cell lines of other origins. Expression is down-regulated

Target Synonyms

C type lectin domain family 5 member A; C-type lectin domain family 5 member A; C-type lectin superfamily member 5; CLC5A_HUMAN; CLEC5 A; CLEC5A; CLECSF 5; CLECSF5; MDL 1; MDL-1; MDL1; Myeloid DAP12 associating lectin; Myeloid DAP12-associating lectin 1

Target Background

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 turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The encoded type II transmembrane protein interacts with dnax-activation protein 12 and may play a role in cell activation. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full-length sequence has not been determined.
