As a principle receptor to β-glucan in the Candida albicans cell wall, Dectin-1 performs
recognition specifically and its mechanisms are diverse in different situations. With a view to
developing certain antifungal targeted drugs, this review provides new insights into the
novel immune signaling pathways induced by Dectin-1, especially the novel understandings
of CARD9 in the Syk-dependent NF-κB pathway, and of Raf-1 in the Syk-independent NF-κB
signaling pathway.
