Summary: Enables immunoglobulin receptor binding activity. Involved in antifungal innate immune response; positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and positive regulation of myeloid dendritic cell activation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Fc-gamma receptor signaling pathway; T cell differentiation involved in immune response; and defense response to other organism. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; immune system; intestine; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human CLEC4D (C-type lectin domain family 4 member D).

MCL (macrophage C-type lectin) plays a crucial role in killing bacteria during Escherichia coli-induced peritonitis. MCL-deficient mice with E. coli-induced sepsis showed lower survival rates and reduced bacterial clearance when compared with control mice, despite similar levels of proinflammatory cytokine production.

Dectin-3 deficiency did not lead to increased susceptibility of mice to experimental pulmonary C. neoformans infection. Also, no significant differences in pulmonary leukocyte recruitment and cytokine production were observed in Dectin-3 deficient mice compared to wild type infected mice

Title: E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b negatively regulates C-type lectin receptor-mediated antifungal innate immunity.
The authors report that microbial stimulation triggers Mincle (Clec4e) expression through the myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88) pathway; a process that does not require MCL (Clecsf8, Clec4d). Conversely, they show that MCL is constitutively expressed but retained intracellularly until Mincle is induced, whereupon the receptors form heterodimers which are translocated to the cell surface.

Data show that Mincle, the inducible receptor for mycobacterial cord factor, is the key switch for the transition of macrophages from cytokine expression to high nitric oxide production.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
