A Proposal for Nomenclature in Myeloid C-Type Lectin Receptors [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Myeloid C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) comprise a family of receptors expressed by immune myeloid cells that share homologous C-type lectin domains. The implication of these CLRs in the regulation of homeostasis and activation of myeloid cells has generated a buoyant growth in the number of studies involving these receptors.

Tetranectin, a trimeric plasminogen‐binding C‐type lectin [PDF]

Protein Science, 1997
AbstractTetranectin, a plasminogen‐binding protein belonging to the family of C‐type lectins, was expressed in E. coli and converted to its native form by in vitro refolding and proteolytic processing. Recombinant tetranectin—as well as natural tetranectin from human plasma—was shown by chemical cross‐linking analysis and SDS‐PAGE to be a homo‐trimer ...
