Beta-Glucan Receptor (N/A)
- Target
- N/A
- Molecular classification
- C-type lectin receptor, Integrin, Pattern Recognition Receptor (PRR)
01
Overview
Beta-glucan receptors are a group of cell-surface receptors, primarily Dectin-1 and CR3, that recognize and bind beta-glucans, polysaccharides found in the cell walls of fungi, bacteria, and some plants. These receptors function as pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that play crucial roles in innate immunity by triggering phagocytosis, initiating inflammatory responses, and modulating anti-tumor immunity.
- Other names
- Dectin-1CLEC7ACR3CD11b/CD18
