Platelet CLEC-2: Roles Beyond Hemostasis
AbstractC-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) has been identified on the surface of platelets as a receptor for a platelet activating snake venom, rhodocytin/aggretin. CLEC-2 belongs to a C-type lectin superfamily and binds to a sialoglycoprotein, podoplanin, in vivo.

CLEC-2 activates Syk through dimerization [PDF]
AbstractThe C-type lectin receptor CLEC-2 activates platelets through Src and Syk tyrosine kinases, leading to tyrosine phosphorylation of downstream adapter proteins and effector enzymes, including phospholipase-C γ2. Signaling is initiated through phosphorylation of a single conserved tyrosine located in a YxxL sequence in the CLEC-2 cytosolic tail ...

Covalent Insertion of a Mn(Salen) Type Complex in Cross-Linked Protein Crystals: Design of an Enantioselective Artificial Epoxidase. [PDF]
An Artificial metalloenzyme was designed by a Michael addition between a MnSalen complex and a cysteine residue within NikA crystals. The heterogeneous catalyst was found capable of an enantioselective and stereospecific epoxidation of cis‐β‐methylstyrene in cristallo.

CLEC-2 SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION IN PLATELET ACTIVATION [PDF]
Platelets are involved in many processes ranging from fighting microbial infections and triggering inflammation to promoting tumor angiogenesis and metastasis. Nevertheless, the primary physiological function of platelets is to act as essential mediators in maintaining homeostasis of the circulatory system by forming hemostatic thrombi that prevent ...

Glycoprotein (GP) VI and C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) are important surface receptors expressed on platelets that share a common signaling pathway downstream of a hemi-immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (hemITAM).

PDGF upregulates CLEC-2 to induce T regulatory cells. [PDF]
The effect of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) on immune cells is not elucidated. Here, we demonstrate PDGF inhibited the maturation of human DCs and induced IL-10 secretion. Culture of PDGF-DCs with T cells induced the polarization of T cells towards FoxP3 expressing T regulatory cells that secreted IL-10.

The Role of CLEC-2 in and Beyond the Vasculature
C-type lectin-like receptor 2 (CLEC-2) is a glycoprotein expressed on the surface of platelets that induces platelet activation including aggregation. Binding of the endogenous ligand podoplanin or the exogenous ligand rhodocytin to CLEC-2 induces tyrosine phosphorylation of the hemITAM motif expressed in its cytoplasmic tail.

Renal cells activate the platelet receptor CLEC-2 through podoplanin.
We have recently shown that the C-type lectin-like receptor, CLEC-2, is expressed on platelets and that it mediates powerful platelet aggregation by the snake venom toxin rhodocytin.
