What's a GeneRIF?

This study shows that C-type lectin LSECtin, a member of the DC-SIGN family, is a novel liver regulator for natural killer cells (NK cells). LSECtin could bind to NK cells in a carbohydrate-dependent manner and could regulate the number of hepatic NK cells.
Title: Involvement of LSECtin in the hepatic natural killer cell response.
Data show that C-type lectin-like domain family 4, member g (Clec4g) suppresses beta-Site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1)-mediated amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides generation.
Title: Clec4g (LSECtin) interacts with BACE1 and suppresses Aβ generation.
When expressed in B16 melanoma cells, LSECtin promoted tumor growth, whereas its blockade slowed tumor growth in either wild-type or LSECtin-deficient mice.
Title: LSECtin expressed on melanoma cells promotes tumor progression by inhibiting antitumor T-cell responses.
LSECtin-mediated signaling up-regulates the threshold of CD4(+) T cell activation via tuning the expression of Cbl-b.
Title: Up-regulation of Cbl-b is associated with LSECtin-mediated inhibition of different CD4+ T-cell subsets.
LSECtin may facilitate the reduction of liver inflammation at the cost of delaying virus clearance, an effect that might be hijacked by the virus as an escape mechanism.
Title: Liver sinusoidal endothelial cell lectin inhibits CTL-dependent virus clearance in mouse models of viral hepatitis.
The studies provide a basis for using mouse LSECtin, and knockout mice lacking this receptor, to model the biological properties of the human receptor.

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.
