Rabbit Anti-CLEC2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Natural killer (NK) cells express multiple calcium-dependent (SLCtype) lectin-like receptors, such as CD94 (KLRD1; MIM 602894) and NKG2D (KLRC4; MIM 602893), that interact with major histocompatibility complex class I molecules and either inhibit or activate cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion. CLEC2 is a SLCtype lectin-like receptor expressed in myeloid cells and NK cells (Colonna et al., 2000 [PubMed 10671229]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 2011]
Function:
Acts as a receptor for the platelet-aggregating snake venom protein rhodocytin. Rhodocytin binding leads to tyrosine phosphorylation and this promotes the binding of spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) and initiation of downstream tyrosine phosphorylation events and activation of PLSLCgamma-2. Acts as an attachment factor for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HISLV1) and facilitates its capture by platelets.
Subunit:
Homodimer.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (Probable).
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed preferentially in the liver. Also expressed in immune cells of myeloid origin and on the surface of platelets.
Post-translational modifications:
Glycosylated.
Phosphorylated on tyrosine residue in response to rhodocytin binding.
Similarity:
Contains 1 SLCtype lectin domain.
