PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a C-type lectin domain
  • lectin-like fold similar to the natural-killer T-cell C-type lectin domains and associates with a 12-kDa DNAX-activating protein (DAP12)4 on myeloid cells
  • conjugated GlycoP
    mono polymer homomer , dimer
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Clecsf5
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • C type lectin superfamily
  • CATEGORY receptor membrane
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text type II transmembrane protein
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in activation of myeloid cells in a calcium-dependent manner
  • ABC-transporter involved in peptide export from the matrix space, having minor effects on nuclear gene expression
  • important pattern recognition receptor in the context of dengue virus infection
  • acting as a signaling receptor for proinflammatory cytokine release
  • CLEC5A associates with both TYROBP and HCST in osteoclasts and bone marrow-derived macrophages, where HCST association depends almost entirely on TYROBP
  • key regulator of synovial injury and bone erosion during autoimmune joint inflammation
  • cell surface receptor strongly associated with the activation and differentiation of myeloid cells
  • associates with its adaptor protein TYROBP to activate a signaling cascade resulting in activation of downstream kinases in inflammatory responses
  • critical macrophage receptor for dengue virus
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS immunity/defense
    text anti-pathogen response
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    CLECSF5/DAP12 pathway
    a component homodimeric at the cell surface and binds to dengue virus serotypes 1-4
    INTERACTION
