Anti-CLEC11A

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 hematopoietic progenitor cells. An alternative splice variant has been described but its biological nature has not been determined. Protein function: Promotes osteogenesis by stimulating the differentiation of mesenchymal progenitors into mature osteoblasts (PubMed:27976999). Important for repair and maintenance of adult bone.
