DESCRIPTION

Also known as MRC2_HUMAN, MRC2, CLEC13E, ENDO180, KIAA0709, UPARAP. May play a role as endocytotic lectin receptor displaying calcium-dependent lectin activity. Internalizes glycosylated ligands from the extracellular space for release in an endosomal compartment via clathrin-mediated endocytosis. May be involved in plasminogen activation system controlling the extracellular level of PLAUR/PLAU, and thus may regulate protease activity at the cell surface. May contribute to cellular uptake, remodeling and degradation of extracellular collagen matrices. May play a role during cancer progression as well as in other chronic tissue destructive diseases acting on collagen turnover. May participate in remodeling of extracellular matrix cooperating with the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Interacts with C-terminal region of type I collagen/COL1A1 (By similarity). Interacts directly with PLAUR/UPAR and PLAU/pro-UPA to form a tri-molecular complex. Interacts with collagen V.
