Anti-Mannose Receptor/MRC1 Picoband® Antibody, PE Conjugate

The mannose receptor (Cluster of Differentiation 206, CD206) is a C-type lectin primarily present on the surface of macrophages, immature dendritic cells and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, but is also expressed on the surface of skin cells such as human dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes. It is mapped to 10p12.33. The recognition of complex carbohydrate structures on glycoproteins is an important part of several biological processes, including cell-cell recognition, serum glycoprotein turnover, and neutralization of pathogens. The protein encoded by this gene is a type I membrane receptor that mediates the endocytosis of glycoproteins by macrophages. The protein has been shown to bind high-mannose structures on the surface of potentially pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and fungi so that they can be neutralized by phagocytic engulfment.

Macrophage mannose receptor 1; MMR; C-type lectin domain family 13 member D; C-type lectin domain family 13 member D-like; Human mannose receptor; hMR; Macrophage mannose receptor 1-like protein 1; CD206; MRC1; CLEC13D; CLEC13DL; MRC1L1

Mediates the endocytosis of glycoproteins by macrophages. Binds both sulfated and non-sulfated polysaccharide chains. (Microbial infection) Acts as phagocytic receptor for bacteria, fungi and other pathogens. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Dengue virus envelope protein E. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Hepatitis B virus envelope protein.
