Clec3b - C-type lectin domain family 3, member b

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; heparin binding activity; and kringle domain binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of plasminogen activation. Acts upstream of or within ossification and skeletal system development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; serum; skeletal musculature; and spinal cord. Used to study Scheuermann's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteoarthritis. Orthologous to human CLEC3B (C-type lectin domain family 3 member B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
