CD302 is a 31-36kD member of the C-type lectin domain family of proteins. It is expressed on cells involved in phagocytosis, including neutrophils, monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages. CD302 is suggested to facilitate phagocytosis, and participate in cell adhesion. Mature human CD302 is a 210aa type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It contains a 146aa extracellular domain (ECD) aa23-168 plus a 43aa cytoplasmic region. The ECD possesses a C-type lectin domain aa32-152 that apparently cannot bind carbohydrate. CD302 has also been detected in dendritic cells as the C-terminal portion of a 215kD fusion protein that involves DEC205. CD302 contributes aa23-232 to the fusion protein. There is one potential alternative start site at Met63. Over aa23-168, human CD302 shares 82aa identity with mouse CD302.
