Gene information for CLEC5A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID23601
Official gene symbolCLEC5A
Full nameC-type lectin domain family 5, member A
Aliases,CLECSF5,MDL-1,MDL1,MGC138304,
Gene summaryThis 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. [provided by RefSeq]
