Specificity
Recognizes murine beta-glucan receptor, also known as Dectin-1. Dectin-1 is predominantly expressed by cells of the monocyte/macrophage and neutrophil lineages, but also at lower levels by dendritic cells and a subpopulation of T cells. As a major leucocyte receptor for beta-glucan this molecule may have a key role in the immunomodulatory effects of beta-glucans and in the host response to fungal pathogens. Recent work has shown that Dectin-1 may stimulate reactive oxygen production in macrophages via the protein tyrosine kinase known as Syk. Inhibits the binding of zymosan to macrophages via the beta-glucan receptor. The low endotoxin version is recommended for functional studies.
