C-type lectin

A C-type lectin (CLEC) is a type of lectin that requires calcium for binding.

An example is the asialoglycoprotein receptor.

CLECs include:


 * CLEC1A, CLEC1B
 * CLEC2A, CLEC2B, CD69 (CLEC2C), CLEC2D, CLEC2L
 * CLEC3A, CLEC3B
 * CLEC4A, CLEC4C, CLEC4D, CLEC4E, CLEC4F, CLEC4G, ASGR1 (CLEC4H1), ASGR2 (CLEC4H2), FCER2 (CLEC4J), CD207 (CLEC4K), CD209 (CLEC4L), CLEC4M
 * CLEC5A
 * CLEC6A
 * CLEC7A
 * OLR1 (CLEC8A)
 * CLEC9A
 * CLEC10A
 * CLEC11A
 * CLEC12A, CLEC12B
 * CD302 (CLEC13A), LY75 (CLEC13B), PLA2R1 (CLEC13C), MRC1 (CLEC13D), MRC2 (CLEC13E)
 * CLEC14A
 * CLEC16A
 * CLEC17A

The "NK Cell lectin-like receptors" are a very closely related group:
 * KLRA1
 * KLRB1 (CLEC5B)
 * KLRC1, KLRC2, KLRC3, KLRC4
 * KLRD1
 * KLRF1 (CLEC5C)
 * KLRG1 (CLEC15A), KLRG2 (CLEC15B)
 * KLRK1
