DC-SIGN Monoclonal / Biotin / DCN47.5
Product Details
| Description | Clone DCN47.5 recognizes CD209 (Dendritic Cell Specific ICAM-3 Grabbing Non-integrin, DC-SIGN), a type II c-type lectin expressed in dermal and mucous tissue, lymphoid tissue such as tonsil, lymph node, spleen, and on monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs). It is not expressed on DC subsets in peripheral blood, except for a subpopulation of CD14+ cells with a DC-like phenotype. | DC-SIGN acts as an adhesion receptor to facilitate interactions between DCs and T cells or DCs and endothelial cells. In addition, it serves as an antigen receptor mediating internalization of ligands for antigen presentation, binding virus such as HIV, HCMV, or Ebola as well as parasites, bacteria, or yeast. | HIV-1 uses this feature of DC-SIGN for efficient in -trans infection of CD4+ T cells. | |

About DC-SIGN
This gene encodes a C-type lectin that functions in cell adhesion and pathogen recognition. This receptor recognizes a wide range of evolutionarily divergent pathogens with a large impact on public health, including leprosy and tuberculosis mycobacteria, the Ebola, hepatitis C, HIV-1 and Dengue viruses, and the SARS-CoV acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. The protein is organized into four distinct domains: a C-terminal carbohydrate recognition domain, a flexible tandem-repeat neck domain, a transmembrane region and an N-terminal cytoplasmic domain involved in internalization. This gene is closely related in terms of both sequence and function to a neighboring gene, CLEC4M (Gene ID: 10332), also known as L-SIGN. The two genes differ in viral recognition and expression patterns, with this gene showing high expression on the surface of dendritic cells. Polymorphisms in the neck region are associated with protection from HIV-1 infection, while single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter of this gene are associated with differing resistance and susceptibility to and severity of infectious disease, including rs4804803, which is associated with SARS severity.
