Acronym for Cluster of differentiation (CD) 280, the mannose receptor (CD280) is a C-type lectin primarily expressed by macrophages and immature dendritic cells. CD280 is a transmembrane receptor protein encoded by the MRC2 receptor located on chromosome 17q23. The receptor protein has an extracellular N-terminus and an intracellular C-terminus. CD 280 is primarily synthesized as an inactive precursor, but upon activation it is proteolytically cleaved into its active form. This process takes place in the Golgi apparatus.
