C-type lectins (CTLs) are key recognition proteins in shrimp immunity. A few years ago we reviewed sequence information, ligand specificity, expression profiles and specific functions of the shrimp CTLs. Since then, multiple integrated studies that implemented biochemical approaches using both the native and recombinant proteins, functional genetic approaches using RNA interference, and mechanistic studies by analyzing protein-protein interactions were carried out. Results from these rigorous studies revealed the functions and mechanisms of action of selected members of the shrimp CTL family. This review focuses on this new knowledge, that includes unique structural aspects, functions, and mechanisms in host-pathogen interactions, the functional relevance of regions other than the C-type lectin domain, and the regulation of transcription of shrimp CTLs. Thus, this review aims to provide a detailed update of recent studies that have contributed to our better understanding of the shrimp immune events that involve CTL functions.
