The MMR (macrophage mannose receptor) is also called MR due to its presence on cells other than macrophages, and is designated CD206, Mrc1 (mannose receptor C type 1), or CLEC13D (Ctype lectin domain family 13, member D) (1-4). CD206 is a 175kD endocytic receptor that is expressed on M2 alternatively activated tissue macrophages including tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), inflammatory dendritic cells in selected lymphoid organs, and liver, splenic, lymphatic, and dermal microvascular endothelial cells (1, 2, 58). The 1463 amino acid (aa) rat CD206 precursor contains a signal sequence (26aa), an extracellular domain (ECD) containing an Nterminal cysteinerich domain, a fibronectin type II (FNII) domain, eight Ctype lectin domains (CTLDs), and several Nglycosylation sites (1369aa), a transmembrane segment and a short (47aa) cytoplasmic domain (24).
Metalloproteinases can mediate the shedding of the soluble ECD (2). The rat CD206 ECD shares 96% aa sequence identity with mouse CD206, and 8485% with human, equine, porcine and canine CD206. The cysteine-rich domain recognizes some pituitary hormones such as LH (luteinizing hormone/lutropin) and TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone/thyrotropin), chondroitin sulfates, and sulfated Nacetylgalactosamines including sulfoLewisa and Lewisx (1, 7, 9).
The FNII domain mediates Ca2+independent binding of collagens (2, 10). The CTLDs participate in Ca2+dependent recognition of branched sugars with terminal mannose, fucose or Nacetylglucosamine that occur on many pathogenic microorganisms (7, 11). CD206 internalizes ligands in clathrin-coated vesicles, sorts them to phagosomes or early endosomes, and recycles to the cell surface (1, 6, 7).
CD206 also promotes clearance of glycoproteins that promote allergy or ongoing inflammation, such as lysosomal hydrolases and myeloperoxidases (1, 2, 57). It is involved in T cell polarization and production of pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines (1, 2). It facilitates peptide presentation on MHC II, and crosspresentation on MHC I which is important for tumor immunogenicity (1, 2, 12). This function may be blocked by engagement of CD206 on TAMs by tumor mucins (8).
