basic FUNCTION
| acting as a lectin receptor |
|
pathogen-associated molecular pattern receptor in human myeloid cells  |
|
likely participates in antigen uptake and internalization, and might be a suitable target molecule in vaccination strategies  |
|
acts as a pathogen attachment factor for Ebolavirus and the SARS coronavirus, and its expression can be induced by interleukin-4 on monocytes and macrophages  |
|
specifically recognized activated T cells and negatively regulated their immune responses  |
|
negatively regulates hepatic T-cell immune response  |
|
not only acts as an attachment factor for pathogens, but also recognizes "endogenous" activated T cells  |
