Anti-Mouse CLEC4E Polyclonal Antibody (PTX20034)

Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet or the lot-specific COA.

C-type lectin domain family 4 member E (CLEC4E) is a ~24 kDa protein. Calcium-dependent lectin that acts as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) of the innate immune system: recognizes damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) of abnormal self and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) of bacteria and fungi. The PAMPs notably include mycobacterial trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate (TDM), a cell wall glycolipid with potent adjuvant immunomodulatory functions. Interacts with signaling adapter Fc receptor gamma chain/FCER1G to form a functional complex in myeloid cells. Binding of mycobacterial trehalose 6,6'-dimycolate (TDM) to this receptor complex leads to phosphorylation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) of FCER1G, triggering activation of SYK, CARD9 and NF-kappa-B, consequently driving maturation of antigen-presenting cells and shaping antigen-specific priming of T-cells toward effector T-helper 1 (Th1) and T-helper 17 (Th17) cell subtypes. Also recognizes alpha-mannose residues on pathogenic fungi of the genus Malassezia and mediates macrophage activation.
