Mannose receptor, C type 1 (MRC1) is a trans-membrane glycoprotein, that is expressed at high levels in the M2 macrophages. This functional gene has 30 exons and is of 101.74 kb. MRC1 consists of a ricin b-type lectin domain (RICIN), a fibronectin type-II domain (FN2), 8 C-type lectin-like domains (CTLDs), a single transmembrane domain (TM) and a short cytosolic domain. It is also expressed on endothelial cells and plasma membrane. This gene is located on human chromosome 10p12.

• in immunohistochemical staining

Mannose receptor, C type 1 (MRC1) encodes for human mannose receptor (MR) and is a member of the C-type lectin receptors family. It recognizes and binds to Mycobacterium tuberculosis by the extracellular structure. It plays a role in antigen-presenting and maintaining a stable internal environment. It plays a critical role in controlling immune response and in regulating allergen induced allergic responses in asthma. This gene along with HSP70 family members through the receptor cytoplasmic tail may contribute to MR trafficking in macrophages.

Mannose receptor, C type 1 (MRC1) is involved in phagocytosis.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
