CLEC7A, also known as C-type lectin domain family 7 member A 1, that functions as in the innate immune response to fungal pathogens. It is expressed on monocytes, macrophages, and neutrophils, and on some populations of dendritic cells and T cells. It is upregulated on macrophages by GM-CSF, IL-4, or IL-13 and downregulated by dexamethasone, IL-10, or LPS. Recombinant mouse CLEC7A, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
