C-type lectin domain family 11 member A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLEC11Agene.[5][6][7]
Function
This gene encodes a member of the C-type lectin superfamily. The encoded protein is a secreted sulfated glycoprotein and functions as a growth factor for primitive hematopoieticprogenitor cells. An alternative splice variant has been described but its biological nature has not been determined.[7]
