Protein-carbohydrate interactions serve a variety of functions in the immune system. A number of lectins mediate both pathogen recognition and cell-to-cell interactions using structurally related carbohydrate recognition domains (CRDs).<br>Macrophage galactose-type C-type lectin (MGL) was previously believed to be derived from a single gene. However, we describe the properties of another novel MΦ galactose-type C-type lectin, mMGL2. As an obvious consequence, the previous mMGL must now be called mMGL1. These lectins are highly homologous to each other except in their cytoplasmic domains and CRDs. The mMGL2 mRNA was also detected in mMGL1-positive cells. We found that mMGL2 has distinct carbohydrate specificity from mMGL1. These two lectins may function cooperatively as recognition and endocytic molecules on macrophages and bone marrow-derived immature dendritic cells.
