Immunopharmacology Comments
Dectin-2 is involved in initiating the innate immune response upon recognition of high mannose structures on fungal cell walls. It associates with the ITAM-containing FcRβ adaptor and signals through the Syk, PKCδ, and CARD9-Bcl10-MALT1 pathways to promote cytokine production in response to fungal infection.
Immuno Process Associations

General Comments
Dectin-2 is a small type II membrane receptor with an extracellular C-type lectin-like domain and a cytoplasmic domain with an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM).
