ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns novel members of the endocytic type C lectin family and methods and means for producing them. The native polypeptides of the invention are characterized by containing a signal sequence, a cysteine rich domain, a fibronectin type II domain, 8 type C lectin domains, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic domain. Nucleotide sequences encoding such polypeptides, vectors containing the nucleotide sequences, recombinant host cells transformed with the vectors, and methods for the recombinant production for the novel type C lectins are also within the scope of the invention.
