Summary
This gene encodes the soluble mannose-binding lectin or mannose-binding protein found in serum. The protein encoded belongs to the collectin family and is an important element in the innate immune system. The protein recognizes and binds to mannose and N-acetylglucosamine on many microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and viruses including influenza virus, HIV and SARS-CoV. This binding activates the classical complement pathway. Deficiencies of this gene have been associated with susceptibility to autoimmune and infectious diseases. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2020]
Annotation information
Note: MBP (Gene ID: 4155) and MBL2 (Gene ID: 4153) share the MBP symbol/alias in common. MBP is a widely used alternative name for mannose binding lectin 2 (MBL2), which can be confused with the official symbol for MBP (myelin basic protein, GeneID 4155). [01 Jun 2018]
Note: This gene has been reviewed for its involvement in coronavirus biology, and is involved in immune response or antiviral activity.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
