CLEC4F (C-type lectin domain; family 4, member F; also known as the Kupffer cell receptor and fucose receptor) is an 80 kDa, type II transmembrane glycoprotein member of the C-type lectin superfamily (1‑3). Mature mouse CLEC4F consists of a 42 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a 27 aa transmembrane segment, and a 479 aa extracellular domain (ECD) that contains an extended stalk region plus one carbohydrate recognition domain (4, 5). Within the ECD, mouse CLEC4F shares 48% and 79% aa sequence identity with human and rat CLEC4F, respectively. The stalk region of CLEC4F is a coiled coil domain that mediates homotrimer formation (6, 7). CLEC4F is expressed on Kupffer cells in the liver, but not on macrophages in other tissues (8). CLEC4F preferentially binds galactose and N‑acetylgalactosamine in a calcium-dependent manner (6, 9, 10). Its activity at neutral, but not at acidic pH, suggests a capacity to internalize and release ligands into the endosomal system (11).

Scientific Data Images for Mouse CLEC4F/CLECSF13 Antibody
CLEC4F/CLECSF13 in Mouse Liver.
CLEC4F/CLECSF13 was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of mouse liver using Rat Anti-Mouse CLEC4F/CLECSF13 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2784) at 5 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Rat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS017) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to Kupffer cells.

CETP protein is not co‐localized with Ly6C protein, but does co‐localize with Clec4f protein. Livers of non‐injected female APOE*3‐Leiden‐CETP mice were assayed for co‐localization of CETP and F4/80 (A), Ly6C (B) and Clec4f (C). Red; F4/80, Ly6C or Clec4f, Green; CETP, Blue; DAPI. Double headed arrows indicate co‐localization, single‐headed arrows indicate no co‐localization. CETP indicates cholesteryl ester transfer protein; Clec4f, C‐type lectin domain family 4; Ly6C, lymphocyte antigen 6 complex locus C.
