Gene information for COLEC12 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID81035
Official gene symbolCOLEC12
Full namecollectin sub-family member 12
Aliases,CLP1,NSR2,SCARA4,SRCL,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the C-lectin family, proteins that possess collagen-like sequences and carbohydrate recognition domains. This protein is a scavenger receptor, a cell surface glycoprotein that can bind to carbohydrate antigens on microorganisms facilitating their recognition and removal. In addition, these receptors can recognize oxidized phospholipids so they may also participate in removing oxidatively damaged or apoptotic cells. [provided by RefSeq]
