Background
Macrophage galactose-type lectin (MGL) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the type II family of C-type lectin receptors (CLR). MGL is expressed on professional antigen presenting cells. In mice,there are two homologs of human MGL, MGL1(CD301a), and MGL2(CD301b). They contain the Gln–Pro–Asp (QPD) sequence in their carbohydrate recognition domain that facilitates galactose or N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) recognition. Murine MGL1 was found to be highly specific for Lewis X and Lewis A structures, whereas mMGL2 recognized N-actetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) and galactose.
