This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. The encoded glycoprotein is a small type II membrane receptor with an extracellular C-type lectin-like domain fold and a cytoplasmic domain with an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif. It functions as a pattern-recognition receptor that recognizes a variety of beta-1,3-linked and beta-1,6-linked glucans from fungi and plants, and in this way plays a role in innate immune response. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. This gene is closely linked to other CTL/CTLD superfamily members on chromosome 12p13 in the natural killer gene complex region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in mice demonstrated that the CLEC7A transcript, a marker for inflammatory response, was upregulated 7.0-fold in the injured ipsilateral neocortex three days after mild traumatic brain injury in a closed head weight-drop model [Israelsson et al. DOI:10.1089/neu.2008.0676]. In a rat model of acute right heart failure induced by pulmonary artery banding, RNA-sequencing analysis identified the CLEC7A gene as significantly upregulated in the right ventricle of the experimental group compared to sham controls [Cao et al. DOI:10.1177/2045894019879396].
