Function | Calcium-dependent lectin that acts as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) of the innate immune system: specifically recognizes and binds alpha-mannans on C.albicans hypheas (PubMed:23911656, PubMed:28652405). Binding of C.albicans alpha-mannans to this receptor complex leads to phosphorylation of the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) of FCER1G, triggering activation of SYK, CARD9 and NF-kappa-B, consequently driving maturation of antigen-presenting cells and shaping antigen-specific priming of T-cells toward effector T-helper 1 and T-helper 17 cell subtypes (By similarity). Recognizes also, in a mannose-dependent manner, allergens from house dust mite and fungi, by promoting cysteinyl leukotriene production (By similarity). Recognizes soluble elements from the eggs of Shistosoma mansoni altering adaptive immune responses (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Expressed in lung, spleen, lymph node, leukocytes, bone marrow, tonsils and dendritic cells. Strongly expressed in purified monocytes and weakly in B-cells. In peripheral blood cells, preferentially expressed in plasmacytoids rather than myeloids |

Background
Like dectin-1 (CLEC7A; MIM 606264), CLEC6A, or dectin-2,is a type II membrane receptor with an extracellular C-typelectin-like domain fold. However, unlike dectin-1, dectin-2 lacksan immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in itscytoplasmic domain (Kanazawa et al., 2004 [PubMed15175046]).
