C-type lectins in immunity: recent developments. [PDF]
Curr Opin Immunol, 2015 C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) comprise a large superfamily of proteins, which recognise a diverse range of ligands, and are defined by the presence of at least one C-type lectin-like domain (CTLD). Of particular interest are the single extracellular CTLD-containing receptors of the 'Dectin-1' and 'Dectin-2' clusters, which associate with signalling ...

C-type lectin receptors in skin immunity: Emerging new role for CLEC12B
Advances in Biomedical and Health Sciences, 2022 C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are a superfamily of transmembrane proteins, which consist of one or several C-type lectin-like domains and intracellular signaling motifs, such as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) or immunoreceptor ...

Drosophila C-type lectins enhance cellular encapsulation [PDF]
Molecular Immunology, 2007 C-type lectins are calcium-dependent carbohydrate binding proteins, and animal C-type lectins participate in innate immunity and cell-cell interactions. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, more than 30 genes encode C-type lectin domains. However, functions of Drosophila C-type lectins in innate immunity are not well understood.
