CLECSF6 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

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 2 transmembrane protein may play a role in inflammatory and immune response. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. This gene is closely linked to other CTL/CTLD superfamily members on chromosome 12p13 in the natural killer gene complex region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008], domain:Contains 1 copy of a cytoplasmic motif that is referred to as the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM) . This motif is involved in modulation of cellular responses. The phosphorylated ITIM motif can bind the SH2 domain of several SH2-containing phosphatases., function:May be involved in regulating immune reactivity. May play a role in modulating dendritic cells (DC) differentiation and/or maturation. May be involved via its ITIM motif (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs) in the inhibition of B-cell-receptor-mediated calcium mobilization and protein tyrosine phosphorylation., induction:Agonists of neutrophils GM-CSF, IL-3, IL-4 and IL-13 up-regulated mRNA expression of isoform 2., online information:DCIR, similarity:Contains 1 C-type lectin domain., subunit:May interact with PTPN6 via its ITIM motif., tissue specificity:Expressed in dendritic cells, myeloid cells, B-cells and HL-60 cells (at protein level) . TNF alpha, IL-1 alpha, and LPS, down-regulated expression at the surface of neutrophils (at protein level) . Expressed preferentially in hematopoietic tissues. Expressed in peripheral blood leukocytes, neutrophils, moderate quantities in spleen, lymph node, and bone marrow, and at very low levels in thymus. Expressed in Ag-presenting cells (DC, monocytes, macrophages and B-cells), as well as on granulocytes. Expression was decreased in DC by signals inducing its maturation (e.g. CD40 ligand, LPS, and TNF alpha) .
