Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including calcium-dependent carbohydrate binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and monosaccharide binding activity. Predicted to be involved in defense response to symbiont; positive regulation of opsonization; and proteolysis. Predicted to act upstream of or within innate immune response. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including basisphenoid pre-cartilage condensation; cardiac muscle tissue; facial prominence; lobar bronchus; and nasal septum. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 3MC syndrome 2. Orthologous to human COLEC11 (collectin subfamily member 11).
