UniProtKB description:  Lectin that functions as a pattern recognizing receptor (PRR) specific for beta-1,3-linked and beta-1,6-linked glucans, which constitute cell wall constituents from pathogenic bacteria and fungi (PubMed:11544516, PubMed:17159984, PubMed:15213161). Necessary for the TLR2-mediated inflammatory response and activation of NF-kappa-B: upon beta-glucan binding, recruits SYK via its ITAM motif and promotes a signaling cascade that activates some CARD domain-BCL10-MALT1 (CBM) signalosomes, leading to the activation of NF-kappa-B and MAP kinase p38 (MAPK11, MAPK12, MAPK13 and/or MAPK14) pathways which stimulate expression of genes encoding pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines (PubMed:12719479, PubMed:15731053, PubMed:16825490, PubMed:32358020). Enhances cytokine production in macrophages and dendritic cells (PubMed:15845454). Mediates production of reactive oxygen species in the cell (PubMed:12719479, PubMed:15731053, PubMed:16825490). Mediates phagocytosis of C.albicans conidia (PubMed:15729357, PubMed:16825490). Binds T-cells in a way that does not involve their surface glycans and plays a role in T-cell activation (PubMed:10779524). Stimulates T-cell proliferation (PubMed:10779524). Induces phosphorylation of SCIMP after binding beta-glucans (PubMed:27288407).
