Summary: Enables (1->3)-beta-D-glucan binding activity; (1->3)-beta-D-glucan immune receptor activity; and opsonin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cytokine production; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and response to fungus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including phagocytosis; regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade; and regulation of gene expression. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; limb; musculature; spleen; and ventral grey horn. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aspergillosis and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Orthologous to human CLEC7A (C-type lectin domain containing 7A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
