UniProtKB description:  Soluble adhesin with carbohydrate-binding activity (PubMed:11447133, PubMed:17491595, PubMed:22399295, PubMed:31226171). Binds to sialic acid-terminating oligosaccharides (PubMed:17491595, PubMed:22399295, PubMed:31226171). Required for attachment of the parasite to the host cell and subsequent invasion (PubMed:15684324, PubMed:16166092, PubMed:17491595, PubMed:22399295). Ensures correct folding of MIC6 and transport of the MIC6-MIC1-MIC4 complex into the micronemes (PubMed:11157983, PubMed:16166092). Facilitates the correct targeting of MIC4 to the micronemes (PubMed:22399295). Triggers the activation of murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and macrophages and production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL12 (IL12B/IL12A), in host TLR2/TLR4-dependent manner (PubMed:31226171, PubMed:31658592). Plays a role in the induction of cytokine storm during infection and acute death in mice (PubMed:31226171). Triggers the production of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL10 in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages in host TLR4-dependent manner (PubMed:33912181). Induces transient endotoxin tolerance in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages, manifested by reduced TNF-alpha (TNF) production in response to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) challenge (PubMed:33912181).
