The mannose receptor is a C-type lectin carbohydrate binding protein. The function of this receptor is to recognize complex carbohydrates that are located on glycoproteins that are a part of many different biological processes. Some of those processes include cell-cell recognition, serum glycoprotein turnover, and neutralization of pathogens.[1] The protein also functions as a type 1 membrane immune receptor that mediates the endocytosis of gycoproteins by macrophages.[1] The structure of this proteins allows it to bind to high mannose structures on the surface of potentially pathogenic viruses, bacteria, and fungi so that they can be engulfed by the cell.[1]

Mannose receptors have been researched as a target for vaccines.[2]

Types

Humans express two types of mannose receptors, each encoded by its own gene:

Gene Protein Aliases
MRC1 Macrophage mannose receptor 1 C-type mannose receptor 1,
C-type lectin domain family 13 member D (CLEC13D),
CD206, MMR
MRC2 Macrophage mannose receptor 2 C-type mannose receptor 2,
Urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor-associated protein,
CD280

The MRC1 gene is in close proximity to MRC1L1 and has a gene loci that includes the gene, MRC1L1, as well as LOC340843 and LOC340893.[1] The gene also consist of nearly two identical regions, some think that they are duplicated regions.[1] Recombinant proteins produced in yeast may be subject to increased addition of mannose, in patterns different from those of a human cell.[3] Dendritic cells of the immune system possess a mannose receptor that enables them to take up mannosylated proteins, and utilize fragments of them for antigen presentation.[4]

Function

The macrophage mannose receptor also interacts with HIV proteins. These interactions affect the gp120 and its ability to bind to the B cells through MRC1 receptors and an increase production of matrix mannose receptors.[1] The protein, Nef interacts with MRC1 by down regulating the receptors on the surface of macrophages and dendritic cells. The tat protein represses the transcription of MRC1 promoters by down regulating the expression of MRC1.[1] All of these proteins interact with MRC1 so that the virus can continue to spread and more research is being conducted trying to understand how stop these interactions from occurring.

More is going to be understood of this gene as more research is done looking at using it to fight tumor growth and HIV.
