CLEC5A

SYNONYMS
C-type lectin domain family 5 member A , CLECSF5, MDL-1, MDL1, C-type lectin superfamily member 5, Myeloid DAP12-associating lectin 1.

INTRODUCTION
C-type lectin domain family 5-member A isoform 1 (CLEC5A) is part of the CTL/CTLD superfamily which carry various functions, for instance cell-cell signaling, cell adhesion, glycoprotein turnover, in addition to their inflammation & immune response abilities. CLEC5A operates as a cell attachment receptor for all 4 serotypes of Dengue virus in addition to Japanese encephalitis virus. CLEC5A binds to the dengue virus and it triggers signaling through the phosphylation of TYROBP, as a result no viral entrance occurs, however this interaction does stimulate proinflammatory cytokine release. CLEC5A preforms as a positive regulator of osteoclastogenesis and also a main regulator of synovial injury & bone erosion for the period of autoimmune joint inflammation.

DESCRIPTION
CLEC5A Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 184 amino acids (28-188 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 20.8kDa.
CLEC5A is fused to a 23 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
