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 ...

C-type lectin receptors orchestrate antifungal immunity [PDF]

Nature Immunology, 2012
Immunity to pathogens critically requires pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs) to trigger intracellular signaling cascades that initiate and direct innate and adaptive immune responses. For fungal infections, these responses are primarily mediated by members of the C-type lectin receptor family.

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]

, 2019
In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.
