Anti-CLEC18C antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein C-type lectin domain family 18 member C. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 446 amino acid residues and a mass of 49.6 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the ER, Golgi, and is secreted. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is notably expressed in peripheral blood cells. CLEC18C is known to bind polysaccharidesin a Ca(2+)-independent manner with a preferentially binding to fucoidan, beta-glucans and galactans. Post-translational modifications have been described, including glycosylation. Synonyms for this target antigen include mannose receptor-like 3 and mannose receptor-like protein 3. CLEC18C gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse and rat species. Western Blot is a widely used application for the CLEC18C antibodies listed below. In addition, ELISA is also a common application.
