Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in bone marrow with lower levels in synovium, lung and bronchus. Expressed in peripheral blood monocytes and in the monocyte/macrophage cell lines U-937 and Mono-Mac-6, but not in cell lines of other origins. Expression is down-regulated when monocytes differentiate into dendritic cells. |
Post Translational Modifications | N-glycosylated. Contains sialic acid residues. |
Function | Functions as a positive regulator of osteoclastogenesis. Cell surface receptor that signals via TYROBP. Regulates inflammatory responses. (Microbial infection) Critical macrophage receptor for dengue virus serotypes 1-4. The binding of dengue virus to CLEC5A triggers signaling through the phosphorylation of TYROBP. This interaction does not result in viral entry, but stimulates pro-inflammatory cytokine release. |
