Product description
This gene is a member of the leukocyte immunoglobulin-like
receptor (LIR) family, which is found in a gene cluster at
chromosomal region 19q13.4. The encoded protein belongs to the
subfamily B class of LIR receptors which contain two or four
extracellular immunoglobulin domains, a transmembrane domain, and
two to four cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory
motifs (ITIMs). The receptor is expressed on immune cells where it
binds to MHC class I molecules on antigen-presenting cells and
transduces a negative signal that inhibits stimulation of an immune
response. The receptor can also function in antigen capture and
presentation. It is thought to control inflammatory responses and
cytotoxicity to help focus the immune response and limit
autoreactivity. Multiple transcript variants encoding different
isoforms have been found for this gene.1) Davila, S., et al. Genes Immun. 11(3):232-238(2010)
