description | 2B4 is a transmembrane receptor which is expressed primarily on natural killer (NK) cells. It plays a role in activating NK-mediated cytotoxicity through its interaction with CD48 on target cells in a subset of CD8 T cells []. The structure of 2B4 consists of an immunoglobulin variable domain fold and contains two β-sheets. One of the β-sheets, the six-stranded sheet, contains structural features that may have a role in ligand recognition and receptor function [].This entry represents the 2B4 immunoglobulin domain. |
