Multifunctional C-type lectin receptor involved in endocytosis, phagocytosis and regulation of cell adhesion and migration (PubMed:17947679, PubMed:27316686). Plays a critical role in guiding dendritic cells to lymph nodes (PubMed:27316686). Also functions as a restriction factor for Hepatitis C virus (HCV) at the liver cell surface, likely by inhibiting a viral cell entry step (PubMed:35297672). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17947679, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27316686, ECO:0000269|PubMed:35297672}. This is the function of CD302 (CD302 molecule, ENSG00000241399).
