Gene: COLEC12 (collectin sub-family member 12) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

COLEC12

Name:

collectin sub-family member 12

Description:

This gene encodes a member of the C-lectin family, proteins that possess collagen-like sequences and carbohydrate recognition domains. This protein is a scavenger receptor, a cell surface glycoprotein that displays several functions associated with host defense. It can bind to carbohydrate antigens on microorganisms, facilitating their recognition and removal. It also mediates the recognition, internalization, and degradation of oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein by vascular endothelial cells. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2011]

Type:

protein-coding

RefSeq Status:

REVIEWED
