• CLEC17A
• C-type lectin domain family 17, member A
• Prolectin

Background

C-type lectin domain family 17, member A (CLEC17A), also known as Prolectin, is type II transmembrane protein that is expressed mainly on dividing B cells found in the germinal centers of secondary lymphoid organs, including lymph nodes, tonsils, stomach, intestine, appendix and spleen (1, 2). CLEC17A binds preferentially to epithelial rather than to mesenchymal cells, and it behaves as a cell adhesion molecule for epithelial cells (2).  It has high specificity towards mannose and was found to form disulfide-linked oligomers (1, 3). Human CLEC17A is synthesized as a 378 amino acid (aa) protein that includes a 172 aa cytoplasmic domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 185 aa extracellular domain (ECD). Within the ECD, human CLEC17A shares 84% aa sequence identity with canine CLEC17A. C-type lectins are Ca²⁺-depending sugar-binding proteins that are involved in several immune-related and other physiological functions. Presently, 17 groups within the C-type lectin superfamily have been recognized (4), with more C-type lectins being constantly discovered based on the presence of a conserved 115-130 amino acid domain along their sequences - the C-type carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). However, for most of the recently identified C-type lectins, their interactions with carbohydrates, intracellular functions and molecular mechanisms still remain unclear (3).
