Description
Product Characteristics: For the quantitative determination of human C-type lectin domain family 18 member A (CLEC18A) concentrations in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates.
Target Information: This is one of three closely related paralogous genes on chromosome 16 encoding secreted proteins containing C-type lectin domains. These domains bind to carbohydrates in the presence of calcium, and may be involved in cell adhesion, immune response and apoptosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2012]
