mannose-binding protein
Mannose binding protein (MBP) or mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a member of the collectin family, and is a C−type serum lectin that participates in the innate inflammatory response in defense against a variety of bacterial, fungal and viral pathogens.

MBP is an acute phase protein synthesized in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines early in the inflammatory response. The receptor that recognizes CRD-carrying MBP, and structurally-related complement or lectin opsonins (collectins), is widely distributed on leukocytes, platelets, and endothelial cells.
MBP initiates the lectin branch (MBL-MASP) of the complement cascade by binding to sugars on the surfaces of microorganisms, activating two MBP-associated serine proteases (MASP-1 and MASP-2). MBP is able to specifically recognize cell surface CD45 on immature, but not mature T cells.
The lectin pathway (MBL - MASP) is homologous to the classical pathway, but utilizes opsonin, mannan-binding lectin (MBL, MBP) and ficolins rather than C1q. Binding of mannan-binding lectin to mannose residues on the pathogen's surface activates the MBL-associated serine proteases, MASP-1, MASP-2, MASP-3, which cleave C4 into C4b and C2 into C2b. As in the classical pathway, C4b and C2b bind to form the C4b•C2b C3 convertase. Ficolins are homologous to MBL and function through MASPs. Diversified ficolins are of particular importance in invertebrates, which lack the adaptive immune response that evolved some 500 million years ago in jawed vertebrates.

MBP carries the CRD domain, whose major function is calcium-dependent recognition of oligosaccharides at cell surfaces (carbohydrate-recognition domain (CRD not CARD, which is caspase recruitment domain). The C-type-lectin-like domain (CTLD) is located in a large variety of proteins and is similar to the CRD domain on C- lectins (C-lectin domain). Although CTLDs are similar to CRDs of C-lectins in sequence and structure, they serve different functions.
