SIGNR3/CD209d: Products

SIGNR3 (designated CD209d) is a 237 amino acid, approximately 34 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein that is one of several mouse orthologs of human DC-SIGN (CD209). SIGNR3 is a calcium-binding C-type lectin that is expressed on myeloid mononuclear cells and a subpopulation of dendritic cells in the dermis, blood, and most lymphoid organs. Like human DC-SIGN, SIGNR3 recognizes high-mannose and fucose-terminated glycans and protects against pathogens such as Candida albicans and Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
