| Function |
Cell surface receptor which may be involved in carbohydrate-mediated communication between cells in the germinal center. Binds glycans with terminal alpha-linked mannose or fucose residues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19419970}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Note=In fibroblasts, expressed on the cell surface. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19419970}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed on dividing B-cells of germinal centers in various tissues, including lymph nodes, tonsils, stomach, intestine, appendix and spleen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19419970}.
