C-type lectin
A C-type lectin (CLEC) is a type of lectin that requires calcium for binding.[1]
An example is the asialoglycoprotein receptor.
CLECs include:
- CLEC1A, CLEC1B
- CLEC2A, CLEC2B, CD69 (CLEC2C), CLEC2D, CLEC2L
- CLEC3A, CLEC3B
- CLEC4A, CLEC4C, CLEC4D, CLEC4E, CLEC4F, CLEC4G, ASGR1 (CLEC4H1), ASGR2 (CLEC4H2), FCER2 (CLEC4J), CD207 (CLEC4K), CD209 (CLEC4L), CLEC4M
- CLEC5A
- CLEC6A
- CLEC7A
- OLR1 (CLEC8A)
- CLEC9A
- CLEC10A
- CLEC11A
- CLEC12A, CLEC12B
- CD302 (CLEC13A), LY75 (CLEC13B), PLA2R1 (CLEC13C), MRC1 (CLEC13D), MRC2 (CLEC13E)
- CLEC14A
- CLEC16A
- CLEC17A
The “NK Cell lectin-like receptors” are a very closely related group:[2]
- KLRA1
- KLRB1 (CLEC5B)
- KLRC1, KLRC2, KLRC3, KLRC4
- KLRD1
- KLRF1 (CLEC5C)
- KLRG1 (CLEC15A), KLRG2 (CLEC15B)
- KLRK1
