domain:Contains 3 copies of a cytoplasmic motif that is referred to as the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM). This motif is involved in modulation of cellular responses. The phosphorylated ITIM motif can bind the SH2 domain of several SH2-containing phosphatases.,function:Receptor for class I MHC antigens. Recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C and HLA-G alleles. Involved in the down-regulation of the immune response and the development of tolerance. Competes with CD8A for binding to class I MHC antigens. Inhibits FCGR1A-mediated phosphorylation of cellular proteins and mobilization of intracellular calcium ions.,PTM:Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues. Dephosphorylated by PTPN6.,similarity:Contains 4 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,subunit:Binds PTPN6 when phosphorylated. Binds FCGR1A.,tissue specificity:Expressed on monocytes and B-cells, and at lower levels on dendritic cells. Detected at low levels in natural killer (NK) cells.,
Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Expressed in monocytes and at lower levels in myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Expressed in tolerogenic IL10-producing dendritic cells (PubMed:20448110). Expressed in myeloid-derived suppressor cells during pregnancy (PubMed:27859042). Detected at low levels in natural killer (NK) cells. Expressed in B cells.
