CLEC9A / DNGR1 (Dendritic Cell Marker) Antibody [8F9]

Summary

This MAb recognizes a protein of 27kDa, identified as CLEC9A (C-type lectin domain family 9 member A). Its epitopes maps in aa 50-110. The C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily consists of a variety of proteins that share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, including cell-cell signaling, cell adhesion, glycoprotein turnover and immune responses. CLEC-9A, also known as DNGR1 (dendritic cell natural killer lectin group receptor 1), is a 241 amino acid single-pass type II membrane protein that contains one C-type lectin domain and belongs to the CTL/CTLD superfamily. Expressed in myeloid lineage cells, brain, spleen and thymus, CLEC-9A is a group V C-type lectin- like receptor (CTLR) that acts as an activation receptor.
