Functions as a positive regulator of osteoclastogenesis (By similarity). Cell surface receptor that signals via TYROBP (PubMed:10449773). Regulates inflammatory responses (By similarity). ; (Microbial infection) Critical macrophage receptor for dengue virus serotypes 1-4 (PubMed:18496526, PubMed:21566123). The binding of dengue virus to CLEC5A triggers signaling through the phosphorylation of TYROBP (PubMed:18496526). This interaction does not result in viral entry, but stimulates pro-inflammatory cytokine release (PubMed:18496526).
