CLEC5A

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 II transmembrane protein interacts with dnax-activation protein 12 and may play a role in cell activation. Alternative splice variants have been described but their full-length sequence has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

C-Type Lectin Domain Containing 5A

Functions as a positive regulator of osteoclastogenesis (By similarity).

Cell surface receptor that signals via TYROBP (PubMed:10449773).

Regulates inflammatory responses (By similarity).

(Microbial infection) Critical macrophage receptor for dengue virus serotypes 1-4 (PubMed:18496526, PubMed:21566123).

The binding of dengue virus to CLEC5A triggers signaling through the phosphorylation of TYROBP (PubMed:18496526).

This interaction does not result in viral entry, but stimulates proinflammatory cytokine release (PubMed:18496526).
