Biological function summary
Langerin supports Langerhans cells in the recognition and processing of pathogens. The protein forms homotrimers enabling it to bind specific mannose-rich glycan structures on pathogens such as viruses and bacteria. Through its endocytic properties Langerin internalizes these antigens into Birbeck granules unique organelles in Langerhans cells promoting antigen processing and presentation to T cells therefore initiating immune responses.
Pathways
Langerin is critical for antigen uptake and processing via the lectin pathway of endocytosis. It interacts with other dendritic cell receptors and influences signaling pathways that enhance immune activation such as the Syk and Raf-1 kinase pathways. Langerin’s ability to internalize antigens connects it with proteins like DC-SIGN and MR which share roles in pathogen recognition and immune modulation.

General info
Function
Calcium-dependent lectin displaying mannose-binding specificity. Induces the formation of Birbeck granules (BGs); is a potent regulator of membrane superimposition and zippering. Binds to sulfated as well as mannosylated glycans, keratan sulfate (KS) and beta-glucans. Facilitates uptake of antigens and is involved in the routing and/or processing of antigen for presentation to T cells. Major receptor on primary Langerhans cells for Candida species, Saccharomyces species, and Malassezia furfur. Protects against human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection. Binds to high-mannose structures present on the envelope glycoprotein which is followed by subsequent targeting of the virus to the Birbeck granules leading to its rapid degradation.
