    basic FUNCTION
  • receptor with a mannose binding specificity, leading to internalization of antigen
  • induces the formation of Birbeck granules
  • could function as an attachment factor for the HIV proteins
  • natural barrier to HIV-1 infection (
  • type II lectin with mannose specificity expressed by Langerhans cells, in epidermis and epithelia
