background:
COLEC11 is a 271 amino acid SLCtype lectin protein that contains a collagen-like domain and a carbohydrate recognition domain, and plays an important role in host-defense. COLEC11 binds to various sugars and LPS (lipopolysaccharides), which include fucose but does not bind to glucose, hnRNP, Beta-1,3-Gal-T3 or mannose. COLEC11 is ubiquitously expressed in most tissues with high expression in kidney, liver, fetal liver, small intestine, thymus, spinal cord, placenta, adrenal gland, pancreas and several cell lines. COLEC11 is a secreted protein and all alternatively spliced isoforms of COLEC11 have oligomeric structures created through disulfide bonding.
Function:
COLEC11 is a lectin that binds to various sugars: fucose > mannose. It does not bind to glucose, N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylgalactosamine but binds to LPS.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitous.
DISEASE:
Defects in COLEC11 are the cause of 3MC syndrome type 2 (3MC2) [MIM:265050]. 3MC2 is an a disorder characterized by facial dysmorphism that includes hypertelorism, blepharophimosis, blepharoptosis and highly archedDE eyebrows, cleft lip and/or palate, craniosynostosis, learning disability and genital, limb and vesicorenal anomalies. The term 3MC syndrome includes Carnevale, Mingarelli, Malpuech, and Michels syndromes.
Similarity:
Belongs to the COLEC10/COLEC11 family.
Contains 1 SLCtype lectin domain.
Contains 1 collagen-like domain.
