Anti-CLEC6A antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein C-type lectin domain containing 6A. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 209 amino acid residues and a mass of 24 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in the lung, spleen, lymph node, leukocytes, bone marrow, tonsils and dendritic cells. CLEC6A is reported to be a calcium-dependent lectin that acts as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) of the innate immune system: specifically recognizes and binds alpha-mannans on Calbicans hypheas. Synonyms for this target antigen include C-type (calcium dependent, carbohydrate-recognition domain) lectin, superfamily member 10, C-type lectin superfamily member 10, DC-associated C-type lectin 2, and C-type lectin domain family 6 member A. A number of CLEC6A antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
