Langerin also binds mannose, which is in the outer membrane of fungi, and beta-glucans in membrane folds of fungi. By this way, LCs can protect themselves against pathogens like Candida, Saccharomyces and Malassezia furfur.
Langerin interacts with mannose present in the outer membrane of fungi and beta-glucans in fungal membrane folds. This interaction helps LCs defend against pathogens like Candida, Saccharomyces, and Malassezia furfur.
