Characterization of the genetic variation and evolutionary divergence of the CLEC18 family

Abstract Background The C-type lectin family 18 (CLEC18) with lipid and glycan binding capabilities is important to metabolic regulation and innate immune responses against viral infection. However, human CLEC18 comprises three paralogous genes with highly similar sequences, making it challenging to...
