Gene: CLEC4A

Alternate names for this Gene: CD367|CLECSF6|DCIR|DDB27|HDCGC13P|LLIR

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signalling, glycoprotein turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The encoded type 2 transmembrane protein may play a role in inflammatory and immune response. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. This gene is closely linked to other CTL/CTLD superfamily members on chromosome 12p13 in the natural killer gene complex region.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12p13.31

Description of this Gene: C-type lectin domain family 4 member A
