Function
- component of the innate immune system
- can bind to carbohydrate antigens of microorganisms & inhibit their infection by direct neutralization & agglutination, the activation of complement through the lectin pathway, & opsonization by collectin receptors
Structure
- C-type lectin superfamily
- collagen-like sequences
- carbohydrate recognition domains
