Human C-type Lectin Domain Family 9 Member A, CLEC9A ELI

Functions as an endocytic receptor on a small subset of myeloid cells specialized for the uptake and processing of material from dead cells.

Recognizes filamentous form of actin in association with particular actin-binding domains of cytoskeletal proteins, including spectrin, exposed when cell membranes are damaged, and mediate the cross-presentation of dead-cell associated antigens in a Syk-dependent manner.
