| Function | C-type lectin receptor involved in recognition of N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc)-terminated glycans by myeloid antigen presenting cells (APCs). Binds in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner to alpha- and beta-linked GalNAc residues on glycoprotein and glycolipid antigens, including alphaGalNAc- and Galbeta1->3GalNAc-O-Ser/Thr also known as Tn and T antigens, LacdiNAc epitope GalNAcbeta1->4GlcNAc and its derivative GalNAcbeta1->4-(Fucalpha1->3)GlcNAc, O-linked core 5 and 6 glycans, and GM2 and GD2 gangliosides. Acts as a signaling receptor at the interface of APC-T cell interactions. On immature dendritic cells, recognizes Tn antigen-carrying PTPRC/CD45 receptor on effector T cells and downregulates PTRPN/CD45 phosphatase activity with an impact on T cell activation threshold, cytokine production and proliferation. Modulates dendritic cell maturation toward a tolerogenic phenotype leading to generation of regulatory CD4-positive T cell subset with immune suppressive functions. Acts as an endocytic pattern recognition receptor involved in antitumor immunity. During tumorigenesis, recognizes Tn antigens and its sialylated forms Neu5Ac-Tn and Neu5Gc-Tn expressed on tumor cell mucins. On immature dendritic cells, can internalize Tn-terminated immunogens and target them to endolysosomal compartment for MHC class I and II antigen presentation to CD8-positive and CD4-positive T cells, respectively. |
