Preparation and Storage

Background: MDL-1/CLEC5A

MDL-1 is an approximately 40 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the C-type lectin superfamily (CLEC5A). MDL-1 is expressed on immature myeloid cells, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, NK cells, and osteocytes. It contains a charged lysine in the transmembrane region that enables it to associate with DAP12 and deliver an activating signal. MDL-1 mediates inflammatory responses during autoimmune arthritis and upon binding to Dengue and Japanese encephalitis viruses. The extracellular domain (ECD) of MDL-1 contains a juxtamembrane stalk region and one C-type lectin domain. Within the ECD, mouse and human MDL-1 share 67% amino acid sequence identity. In mouse, alternative splicing generates a short isoform with a 25 aa deletion in the stalk region.
