initialism: MMR
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.13427
Receptor involved in pathogen recognition, in clearance of endogenous serum glycoproteins, and in antigen presentation.
Notes:
  1. Clusters of lectin domains bind mannose residues on microbial and fungal surfaces in a \(\ce{Ca^{2+}}\)-dependent manner.
  2. The receptor activates the C3 component of complement.
