Human CLC (Charcot Leyden Crystal Protein) CLIA Kit

Galectin-10; Gal-10; Charcot-Leyden Crystal Protein; Clc; Eosinophil Lysophospholipase; Lysolecithin Acylhydrolase

Uniprot ID: OGG1_HUMAN ; Gene ID: 1178

Tissue Specificity: Expressed abundantly in the bone marrow. Expressed exclusively by eosinophils and basophils. Not detected in monocytes and neutrophils. Expressed in CD25-positive regulatory T-cells (Treg) (at protein level). Found in intestinal tissue from patients with Celiac disease, expression is directly related to the histological grade of mucosal damage and to the number of eosinophils found in the duodenal lesion (at protein level). Found in sputum of patients with eosinophilic inflammatory diseases such as asthma (at protein level).

Function: Regulates immune responses through the recognition of cell-surface glycans. Essential for the anergy and suppressive function of CD25-positive regulatory T-cells (Treg).
