Notes

The Mannose Receptor (MR), a member of the vertebrate C-type lectin family, is a pattern recognition receptor that is involved in both innate and adaptive immunity. The 180 kDa transmembrane protein consists of 5 domains: an amino-terminal cysteine-rich region, a fibronectin type II repeat, a series of eight tandem lectin-like carbohydrate recognition domains (responsible for the recognition of mannose and fucose), a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular carboxy-terminal tail. The structure is shared by the family of multi lectin mannose receptors: the phospholipase A2-receptor, DEC 205 and the novel C-type lectin receptor (mannose receptor X). The MR recognises a wide range of gram positive and gram negative bacteria, yeasts, parasites and mycobacteria. The MR has also been shown to bind and internalize tissue-type plasminogen activator. MR's are present on monocytes and dendritic cells (DC) and are presumed to play a role in innate and adaptive immunity, the latter via processing by DC. The expression of MR as observed in immunohistology is present on tissue macrophages, dendritic cells, a subpopulation of endothelial cells, Kupffer cells and sperm cells.

Activity summary

The Mannose Receptor also known as CD206 or MRC1 is a type of C-type lectin receptor with a molecular weight of 175 kDa. It is expressed on the surface of macrophages and dendritic cells. This receptor binds to complex carbohydrates like mannose and fucose found on pathogen surfaces playing an important role in their recognition. Mannose Receptors act as endocytic receptors aiding in the internalization and degradation of pathogens.

Biological function summary

The Mannose Receptor functions in pathogen recognition and clearance by binding to specific carbohydrates on the pathogen's surface. It is not part of a larger molecular complex but works independently to facilitate phagocytosis. The receptor is essential in immune responses allowing macrophages and dendritic cells to efficiently capture and process antigens for presentation to T cells. This enables the initiation of adaptive immune responses.

Pathways

Researchers know that the Mannose Receptor plays an important role in immune signaling pathways particularly in antigen processing and presentation. It interacts with proteins involved in these pathways including those necessary for the internalization and degradation of bound antigens. Moreover it works alongside scavenger receptors contributing to the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses.

Associated diseases and disorders

The Mannose Receptor is often linked to pulmonary tuberculosis and certain types of cancer. When macrophages express this receptor it can modulate immune responses against Mycobacterium tuberculosis by aiding in its recognition. In cancer altered expression of CD206 can indicate tumor-associated macrophages which promote tumor growth by suppressing immune responses. These connections highlight the receptor's potential as a diagnostic marker and therapeutic target.
