CD207

protein-coding

CD207 molecule, the group of C-type lectin domain containing|CD molecules|Scavenger receptors

Gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is expressed only in Langerhans cells which are immature dendritic cells of the epidermis and mucosa. It is localized in the Birbeck granules, organelles present in the cytoplasm of Langerhans cells and consisting of superimposed and zippered membranes. It is a C-type lectin with mannose binding specificity, and it has been proposed that mannose binding by this protein leads to internalization of antigen into Birbeck granules and providing access to a nonclassical antigen-processing pathway. Mutations in this gene result in Birbeck granules deficiency or loss of sugar binding activity. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type

Statistics based on transcript NM_015717.5. Only rare variants are included.

We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.

Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

Function
FUNCTION: Calcium-dependent lectin displaying mannose-binding specificity. Induces the formation of Birbeck granules (BGs); is a potent regulator of membrane superimposition and zippering. Binds to sulfated as well as mannosylated glycans, keratan sulfate (KS) and beta-glucans. Facilitates uptake of antigens and is involved in the routing and/or processing of antigen for presentation to T cells. Major receptor on primary Langerhans cells for Candida species, Saccharomyces species, and Malassezia furfur. Protects against human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) infection. Binds to high-mannose structures present on the envelope glycoprotein which is followed by subsequent targeting of the virus to the Birbeck granules leading to its rapid degradation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10661407, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17334373, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20026605, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20097424}.;
Disease
DISEASE: Birbeck granule deficiency (BIRGD) [MIM:613393]: A condition characterized by the absence of Birbeck granules in epidermal Langerhans cells. Despite the lack of Birbeck granules, Langerhans cells are present in normal numbers and have normal morphologic characteristics and antigen-presenting capacity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15816828, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16567809}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
