Function

Lectin that functions as a pattern recognizing receptor (PRR) specific for beta-1,3-linked and beta-1,6-linked glucans, which constitute cell wall constituents from pathogenic bacteria and fungi (PubMed:11544516, PubMed:15213161, PubMed:17159984). Necessary for the TLR2-mediated inflammatory response and activation of NF-kappa-B: upon beta-glucan binding, recruits SYK via its ITAM motif and promotes a signaling cascade that activates some CARD domain-BCL10-MALT1 (CBM) signalosomes, leading to the activation of NF-kappa-B and MAP kinase p38 (MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and/or MAPK14) pathways which stimulate expression of genes encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (PubMed:12719479, PubMed:15731053, PubMed:16825490, PubMed:32358020). Enhances cytokine production in macrophages and dendritic cells (PubMed:15845454). Mediates production of reactive oxygen species in the cell (PubMed:12719479, PubMed:15731053, PubMed:16825490). Mediates phagocytosis of C.albicans conidia (PubMed:15729357, PubMed:16825490). Binds T-cells in a way that does not involve their surface glycans and plays a role in T-cell activation (PubMed:10779524). Stimulates T-cell proliferation (PubMed:10779524). Induces phosphorylation of SCIMP after binding beta-glucans (PubMed:27288407).

Post-translational modifications

N-glycosylated.

Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues in response to beta-glucan binding.

Tissue specificity

Detected in spleen (at protein level). Highly expressed in dendritic cells, spleen and thymus. Detected in epidermal Langerhans cells. Detected in macrophages, liver and lung.

Cellular localization

  • Cell membrane
  • Single-pass type II membrane protein
  • Enriched on zymosan phagosomes. Enrichment does not depend on opsonization.
