Gene information for CLEC4A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID50856
Official gene symbolCLEC4A
Full nameC-type lectin domain family 4, member A
Aliases,CLECSF6,DCIR,DDB27,HDCGC13P,LLIR,
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 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]
