PE anti-human CD209/CD299 (DC-SIGN/L-SIGN) Antibody, CD209/CD299, A20120F,BioLegend,380504

CD209 (DC-SIGN) is a C-type lectin that has a high affinity for the ICAM3 molecule. It binds various microorganisms by recognizing high mannose-containing glycoproteins on their envelopes. It especially functions as a receptor for several viruses such as HIV and Hepatitis C. CD299 (L-SIGN) is a transmembrane receptor and is referred to as L-SIGN because of its expression in the endothelial cells of the lymph nodes and liver. The protein is involved in the innate immune system and recognizes numerous evolutionarily divergent pathogens ranging from parasites to viruses. The protein is organized into three distinct domains: an N-terminal transmembrane domain, a tandem-repeat neck domain, and a C-type lectin carbohydrate recognition domain.
