REG4 Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc)
The REG4 protein is a calcium-dependent lectin that functions as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) in the innate immune system. REG4 has specific affinity for α-mannan on Candida albicans hyphae and triggers phosphorylation of the FCER1G immunoreceptor tyrosine activation motif (ITAM), thereby activating SYK, CARD9 and NF-kappa-B. REG4 Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant rat-derived REG4 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.

Biological Activity
Description
The REG4 protein is a calcium-dependent lectin that functions as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) in the innate immune system. REG4 has specific affinity for α-mannan on Candida albicans hyphae and triggers phosphorylation of the FCER1G immunoreceptor tyrosine activation motif (ITAM), thereby activating SYK, CARD9 and NF-kappa-B. REG4 Protein, Rat (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant rat-derived REG4 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.
Background
Dectin-2/CLEC6A, a calcium-dependent lectin, serves as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) in the innate immune system, with a specific affinity for alpha-mannans present on C.albicans hyphae. Upon binding, this receptor complex triggers the phosphorylation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) of FCER1G, activating SYK, CARD9, and NF-kappa-B. This activation sequence leads to the maturation of antigen-presenting cells and shapes antigen-specific priming of T-cells towards effector T-helper 1 and T-helper 17 cell subtypes. Additionally, Dectin-2/CLEC6A recognizes allergens from house dust mite and fungi in a mannose-dependent manner, promoting cysteinyl leukotriene production. It also plays a role in altering adaptive immune responses by recognizing soluble elements from the eggs of Shistosoma mansoni. Associated with FCER1G, it forms a heterodimer with CLEC4D, creating a PRR against fungal infection.
