Cell surface lectin receptors play important roles in the function of macrophages. Herein, we have identified and characterized the human orthologue of the mouse Mcl/Clecsf8. Human CLECSF8 codes for a type II membrane glycoprotein of 215 amino acids that belongs to the human calcium-dependent lectin family (C-type lectin). The cytoplasmic tail of CLECSF8 lacks consensus signaling motifs and its extracellular region shows a single carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD). The CLECSF8 gene has been localized on the telomeric region of the NK gene complex on chromosome 12p13 close to MINCLE. CLECSF8 mRNA shows a monocyte/macrophage expression pattern. Biochemical analysis of CLECSF8 on transiently transfected cells showed a glycoprotein of 30 kDa. Cross-linking of the receptor leads to a rapid internalization suggesting that CLECSF8 constitutes and endocytic receptor.
