C-type lectin domain family 11 member A (Clec11a), as a growth factor for hematopoietic progenitor cells, activates the expression of osteoblast-related gene transcripts, including Alp, Runx2, LEF1, and Axin, and is associated with the development of several cancers, such as leukemia [124,125]. Here, CLEC11A is linked to leukemia.
