CD207, also known as Langerin, is a 40 kD type II transmemberane cell glycoprotein which belongs to C-type lectin with mannose binding specificity. It is predominantly expressed on Langerhans cells and induces the formation of Birbeck granules, the Langerhans cell hallmark organelle. It is also found on several other subtypes of dendritic cells, such as dermal CD103-positive dendritic cells and splenic CD8-positive dendritic cells. Langerin is generally thought to be involved in antigen processing. Recently, it has been found that HIV captured by Langerin was internalized into Birbeck granule and degraded, which results in inhibition of HIV-1 infection and subsequent transmission.
