When such PTM-binding protein domains are used as analytical tools, the functional states of cells and tissues can be determined with high precision. Here, we describe the use of recombinant CLEC10A (CD301), a human glycoreceptor of the C-type lectin family, for the detection of ligands in sections from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded normal and cancerous mammary tissues. A construct, in which part of the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) was deleted, was used as a negative control. In comparison to normal mammary glands, a pronounced staining of tumor tissues was observed. Because the construct with the truncated CRD did not show any tissue staining, the The journal of histochemistry and cytochemistry : official journal of the Histochemistry Society199-205https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC3636699biostudies-literatureProtein domain histochemistry (PDH): binding of the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) of recombinant human glycoreceptor CLEC10A (CD301) to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissues.PMC3636699Wolters-Eisfeld GBockhorn MMortezai NKlampe BKurze AKNiendorf AWagener CDebus ANollau PfalseProtein domain histochemistry (PDH): binding of the carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) of recombinant human glycoreceptor CLEC10A (CD301) to formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissues.Specialized protein domains bind to posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, such as phosphorylation or glycosylation.
