Clec4n Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables carbohydrate binding activity and pattern recognition receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; positive regulation of immune response; and response to fungus. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; bone; immune system; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human CLEC6A (C-type lectin domain containing 6A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Clec4n often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
