Background

Intelectin-1 (intestinal lectin; also ITLN-1 and omentin) is a 40 kDa Ca-dependent galactofuranose-binding lectin that is not a C-type lectin. It is expressed on multiple cell types and appears to participate in insulin signaling and microbe recognition. The human ITLN-1 preproprecursor is 313 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains an 18 aa signal sequence, a 280 aa mature segment (aa 19-298), and a 15 aa C-terminal proregion that is cleaved to generate a GPI-linkage. One fibrinogen-related domain exists in the mature molecule (aa 36-209). Human ITLN-1 exists as a disulfide-linked glycosylated homotrimer. Mouse ITLN-1 is unglycosylated and a monomer. Mature human ITLN-1 is 82% aa identical to mouse ITLN-1. Human ITLN-1 shows one alternate start site at Met72, and a splice form that contains a 32 aa substitution for aa 264-313.

Intelectin-2 (ITLN-2; also endothelial lectin 2 and HL-2) is a 37-41 kDa, likely Ca-dependent carbohydrate-binding lectin that is a member of the X-lectin family of molecules. It is secreted by intestinal Paneth cells, and appears to participate in fungal microbe recognition. The human ITLN-2 precursor is 325 amino acids (aa) in length (SwissProt #:Q8WWU7). It contains a 26 aa signal sequence and a 299 aa mature region. Although mouse ITLN-2 is reportedly GPI-linked, and mouse and human ITLN-2 show considerable C-terminal aa identity, it is not known if human ITNL-2 is also GPI-linked. There is one fibrinogen-related domain in the mature molecule (aa 44-267). One potential splice variant is reported that shows a premature truncation after Gly264. Over aa 29-324, human ITLN-2 shares 79% aa sequence identity with mouse ITLN-2/ITLN-1b, and 85% aa sequence identity with human ITLN-1.
