About Clec4m

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including (1->3)-beta-D-glucan binding activity; mannose binding activity; and virus receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in immune response and viral entry into host cell. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including detection of Other organism; phagocytosis, recognition; and positive regulation of tumor necrosis factor production. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coronavirus infectious disease (multiple); aspergillosis; dengue disease (multiple); human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease (multiple); and tuberculosis (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including CD209 (CD209 molecule). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
