Background: CLEC-2A

CLEC-2A (C-type lectin domain family 2 member A), also known as PILAR and KACL, is an approximately 35 kDa type II transmembrane glycoprotein in the C-type lectin superfamily. It contains one C-type lectin domain in its extracellular region. Alternate splicing of human CLEC-2A generates an additional isoform with a substitution of 37 amino acids (aa) at the C-terminus. CLEC-2A is upregulated on antigen-activated CD8  ⁺ T cells and enhances T cell proliferation through interactions with CD161. It is also expressed on keratinocytes and binds to NKp65/KLRF2, triggering NK cell activation.
