Langerin (CD207) is a type II transmembrane protein which is encoded by the CD207 gene in humans.[5][6] It was discovered by scientists Sem Saeland and Jenny Valladeau as a main part of Birbeck granules. Langerin is C-type lectin receptor on Langerhans cells (LCs) and in mice also on dermal interstitial CD103+ dendritic cells (DC) and on resident CD8+ DC in lymph nodes.[6][7][8]
