Gene and Protein Information Comments
A shorter transcript and protein isoform of human the CLEC6A gene have been reported [1]. Two alternative transcripts and protein isoforms arising from the mouse gene have been identified. A rat homolog of human CLEC6A has not been identified.

Immunopharmacology Comments

Dectin-2 is involved in initiating the innate immune response upon recognition of high mannose structures on fungal cell walls. It associates with the ITAM-containing FcRβ adaptor and signals through the Syk, PKCδ, and CARD9-Bcl10-MALT1 pathways to promote cytokine production in response to fungal infection.

General Comments
Dectin-2 is a small type II membrane receptor with an extracellular C-type lectin-like domain and a cytoplasmic domain with an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM).
