Intelectin-1, also known as omentin or intestinal lactoferrin receptor, is an
intelectin encoded in humans by the ''ITLN1''
gene.
Intelectin-1 functions both as a receptor for bacterial
arabinogalactans
and for
lactoferrin.
Having conserved ligand binding site residues, both human and mouse intelectin-1 bind the exocyclic vicinal diol of carbohydrate ligands such as galactofuranose.
