9.B.417.  The MCFD2/LMAN1 Complex Receptor (MLM-CR) Family 

LMAN ( a mannose-specific lectin, Ergic-53; 510 aas with two TMSs, N- and C-terminal) and MCFD2 of 146 aas and one N-terminal TMS, form a complex that recognizes sugar residues of glycoproteins, glycolipids, or glycosylphosphatidyl inositol anchors, It may be involved in the sorting and/or recycling of proteins, lipids, or both. The LMAN1-MCFD2 complex forms a specific cargo receptor for the ER-to-Golgi transport of selected proteins (Nufer et al. 2003; Zhang et al. 2003). It plays a role in the secretion of coagulation factors. A 1.60 Å resolution crystal structure of the ERGIC-53(CRD)-MCFD2 complex is available showing that MCFD2, but not ERGIC-53-CRD, exhibits conformational plasticity that may be relevant to its accommodation of various polypeptide ligands (Satoh et al. 2020). The LMAN1-MCFD2 complex is a cargo receptor for the ER-Golgi transport of alpha1-antitrypsin (Zhang et al. 2022).

The MCFD2/LMAN1 Complex Receptor (MLM-CR) involved in glycoprotein and glycolipid trafficking between the ER and golgi (Satoh et al. 2020). MCFD2 has a C-terminal domain of ~50% of the protein that is distantly related to members of TC family 8.A.82.

9.B.417.1.2

LMAN2 or VIP36 (GP36B, C5orf8) of 356 aas and 2 TMSs, N- and C-terminal.  It plays a role as an intracellular lectin in the early secretory pathway and interacts with N-acetyl-D-galactosamine and high-mannose type glycans as well as O-linked glycans. It is involved in the transport and sorting of glycoproteins carrying high mannose-type glycans. LMAN2 expression had a positive link to breast cancer stemness, proliferation, metastasis, and differentiation (Zhang et al. 2022).It also regulates Kv1.2 (TC# 1.A.1.2.10) redox-sensitive gating (Lamothe et al. 2024).
