Summary: Enables carbohydrate binding activity and pattern recognition receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; positive regulation of immune response; and response to fungus. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; bone; immune system; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human CLEC6A (C-type lectin domain containing 6A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001177249.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an in-frame exon in the 5' coding region, compared to variant 1. This results in a shorter protein (isoform 2), compared to isoform 1.
