Description
CLEC5A, also known as MDL1 and MDL-1, is a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signalling, glycoprotein turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. CLEC5A with dnax-activation protein 12 and may play a role in cell activation. It also functions as a positive regulator of osteoclastogenesis. CLEC5A acts as a key regulator of synovial injury and bone erosion during autoimmune joint inflammation .The binding of dengue virus to CLEC5A triggers signaling through the phosphylation of TYROBP, this interaction does not result in viral entry, but stimulates proinflammatory cytokine release.
