Function | May function in innate immunity through activation of the lectin complement pathway. Calcium-dependent and GlcNAc- binding lectin. Enhances phagocytosis of S.typhimurium by neutrophils, suggesting an opsonic effect via the collagen region. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10679061}. |
Subcellular Location | Secreted. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma. |
