Also known as: Dcir3
Summary: Predicted to enable D-mannose binding activity; calcium ion binding activity; and pattern recognition receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antifungal innate immune response; negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor production; and plasmacytoid dendritic cell antigen processing and presentation. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human CLEC4A (C-type lectin domain family 4 member A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
