Gene: CLEC2D

Alternate names for this Gene: CLAX|LLT1|OCIL

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the natural killer cell receptor C-type lectin family. The encoded protein inhibits osteoclast formation and contains a transmembrane domain near the N-terminus as well as the C-type lectin-like extracellular domain. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12p13.31

Description of this Gene: C-type lectin domain family 2 member D
