FunctionMediates the endocytosis of glycoproteins by macrophages. Binds both sulfated and non-sulfated polysaccharide chains. Acts as phagocytic receptor for bacteria, fungi and other pathogens.
MiscellaneousCRDs 1-3 have at most very weak affinity for carbohydrate. CRD 4 shows the highest affinity binding and has multispecificity for a variety of monosaccharides. At least 3 CRDs (4, 5, and 7) are required for high affinity binding and endocytosis of multivalent glycoconjugates.
PolymorphismGenetic variations in MRC1 may influence susceptibility or resistance to leprosy in some populations. Particularly, Gly-396 seems to be a risk factor for leprosy when associated with Ala-399 and Phe-407.
