Intelectin-1

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Intelectin-1, also known as omentin or intestinal lactoferrin receptor, is an intelectin encoded in humans by the ITLN1 gene.[5][6][7] Intelectin-1 functions both as a receptor for bacterial arabinogalactans[5] and for lactoferrin.[8]

Quick Facts ITLN1, Available structures ...

Having conserved ligand binding site residues, both human and mouse intelectin-1 bind the exocyclic vicinal diol of carbohydrate ligands such as galactofuranose.[9][10]
