Like dectin-1 (CLEC7A; MIM 606264), CLEC6A, or dectin-2,
is a type II membrane receptor with an extracellular C-type
lectin-like domain fold. However, unlike dectin-1, dectin-2 lacks
an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) in its
cytoplasmic domain (Kanazawa et al., 2004 [PubMed
15175046]).
