CLEC4D (C-type lectin domain family 4 member D), also known as CLCSF8, CLEC-6, and MCL, is a 30kD type II transmembrane (TM) glycoprotein that belongs to the CLR (C-type Lectin Receptor) family of molecules.
It is synthesized as a 215aa protein that contains a 17aa N-terminal cytoplasmic domain, a 21aa TM segment, and a 177aa C-terminal extracellular region.
The extracellular region shows a short stalk and a 118aa CRD (carbohydrate recognition domain).
The nature of its carbohydrate ligand is unknown.
CLEC4D is restricted to monocytes/macrophages and serves as an endocytic receptor.
Homodimers and homotrimers form on the cell surface.
The human CLEC4D extracellular region shares 63% aa sequence identity with the mouse extracellular region.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
