Cd209b - CD209b antigen

Enables (1->3)-beta-D-glucan binding activity and mannose binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including detection of other organism; phagocytosis, recognition; and positive regulation of tumor necrosis factor production. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coronavirus infectious disease (multiple); aspergillosis; dengue disease (multiple); human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease (multiple); and tuberculosis (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including CD209 (CD209 molecule). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
