Function
Saccharide- and LPS-binding protein with possible roles in pathogen sensing and endotoxin neutralization. Ligand-binding specificity relates to the length of the oligosaccharides, with preference for chitotetraose (in vitro).
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 18 family.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in cells of monocytic, T, B and epithelial origin.
Cellular localization
- Secreted
- Lysosome
