Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 16643 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable HLA-E specific inhibitory MHC class Ib receptor activity; MHC protein complex binding activity; and protein antigen binding activity. Predicted to be involved in natural killer cell mediated immunity; regulation of leukocyte mediated cytotoxicity; and stimulatory C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within adaptive immune response and innate immune response. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to human KLRD1 (killer cell lectin like receptor D1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal NK cell function and susceptibillity to infection.
