Rabbit Anti-CLEC4M (C-type Lectin Domain Family 4 Member M, CD209 Antigen-like Protein 1, DC-SIGN-related Protein, DC-SIGNR, Dendritic Cell-specific ICAM-3-grabbing Non-integrin 2, DC-SIGN2, Liver/Lymph Node-specific ICAM-3-grabbing Non-integrin, L-SIGN, CD299, CD209L, CD209L1, MGC129964, MGC47866)
CLEC4M is a type II integral membrane protein that is 77% identical to CD209 antigen, a HIV gp120-binding protein. This protein, like CD209, efficiently binds both intercellular adhesion molecule 3 (ICAM3) and HIV-1 gp120, and enhances HIV-1 infection of T cells.
