Summary
Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
|
The protein encoded by this gene is expressed only in Langerhans cells which are immature dendritic cells of the epidermis and mucosa. It is localized in the Birbeck granules, organelles present in the cytoplasm of Langerhans cells and consisting of super |

|
Protein name |
C-type lectin domain family 4 member K (Langerin) (CD antigen CD207) |
Protein function |
Calcium-dependent lectin displaying mannose-binding specificity. Induces the formation of Birbeck granules (BGs); is a potent regulator of membrane superimposition and zippering. Binds to sulfated as well as mannosylated glycans, keratan sulfate |
