C-type lectin domain family 2 member D is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLEC2D gene.This gene encodes a member of the natural killer cell receptor C-type lectin family. The encoded protein inhibits osteoclast formation and contains a transmembrane domain near the N-terminus as well as the C-type lectin-like extracellular domain. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified but the full-length nature of every transcript has not been defined.
