DCIR and its ligand asialo-biantennary N-glycan regulate DC function and osteoclastogenesis.
Title: DCIR and its ligand asialo-biantennary N-glycan regulate DC function and osteoclastogenesis.
DCIR modulates immunity to M. tuberculosis through sustaining type I IFN signaling in DCs, which reduces IL-12-p70 production and Th1 expansion. As a consequence, DCIR-deficient mice control M. tuberculosis infection better than their WT counterparts but also develop more immunopathology in the lungs.

this study shows that upon injection of d-galactosamine and lipopolysaccharide, Dcir1-/- mice show decreased mortality rates and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase

Dcir1 enhances the pathogenesis of DSS colitis by altering neutrophil recruitment and their functions.
Title: Dendritic cell immunoreceptor 1 alters neutrophil responses in the development of experimental colitis.
While DCIR1 was ubiquitously expressed on myeloid cells in various immune organs, significant expression of DCAR2 was detected only on subpopulations of conventional dendritic cells from bone marrow and skin-draining lymph nodes.
Title: Ubiquitous versus restricted expression of the two mouse dendritic cell C-type lectin receptors, DCIR1 and DCAR2, among myeloid cells.
MCL-/- as well as DCIR-/- mice exhibited only a slightly increased severity of disease compared to wild-type mice indicating a limited role for MCL and DCIR in the regulation of intestinal immunity.

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.

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) differs in the 5' UTR and lacks an alternate in-frame exon compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (b) has the same N- and C-termini but is shorter compared to isoform a. Variants 2 and 3 both encode the same isoform (b).
