Clec7a - C-type lectin domain containing 7A

Predicted to enable (1->3)-beta-D-glucan binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and pattern recognition receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cytokine production; positive regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process; and response to fungus. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cell surface. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aspergillosis and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. Orthologous to human CLEC7A (C-type lectin domain containing 7A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
