CLEC1 Antibody

CLEC1 is a C-type lectin receptor and part of the ‘Dectin-1 cluster’ subfamily which also includes Dectin-1, LOX-1, CLEC-2, MICL, CLEC12B, and CLEC9A. Similar to other family members, CLEC1 displays N-liked glycosylation and dimerization characteristics, and is found on dendritic cells, monocytes and granulocytes. However, unlike other family members, CLEC1 expression level is upregulated by IL-10 and TGFb, but not by pro-inflammatory stimuli, and it is expressed on endothelial cells. Enhanced expression at allograft sites suggests CLEC1 may have an immune-regulatory function and may support allograft tolerance.
