Gene: CLEC12A

Alternate names for this Gene: CD371|CLL-1|CLL1|DCAL-2|MICL

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin/C-type lectin-like domain (CTL/CTLD) superfamily. Members of this family share a common protein fold and have diverse functions, such as cell adhesion, cell-cell signaling, glycoprotein turnover, and roles in inflammation and immune response. The protein encoded by this gene is a negative regulator of granulocyte and monocyte function. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. This gene is closely linked to other CTL/CTLD superfamily members in the natural killer gene complex region on chromosome 12p13.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 12

Location in Chromosome : 12p13.31

Description of this Gene: C-type lectin domain family 12 member A
