Abstract
C-type lectin receptors (CLRs) are essential for multicellular existence, having diverse functions ranging from embryonic development to immune function. One subgroup of CLRs is the Dectin-1 cluster, comprising of seven receptors including MICL, CLEC-2, CLEC-12B, CLEC-9A, MelLec, Dectin-1 and LOX-1. Reflecting the larger CLR family, the Dectin-1 cluster of receptors has a broad range of ligands and functions, but importantly, are involved in numerous pathophysiological processes that regulate health and disease. Indeed, these receptors have been implicated in development, infection, regulation of inflammation, allergy, transplantation tolerance, cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and other autoimmune diseases. In this mini-review, we discuss the latest advancements in elucidating the function(s) of each of the Dectin-1 cluster CLRs, focussing on their physiological roles and involvement in disease
