Function | Functions as an endocytic receptor. May be involved in antigen uptake at the site of infection, either for clearance of the antigen, or for processing and further presentation to T cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14971047}. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed weakly in peripheral blood leukocytes, bone marrow and spleen. Expression is confined mostly in monocytes and macrophage and seems to be up-regulated by IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14971047}. |
