CD158a Polyclonal Antibody

function:Receptor on natural killer (NK) cells for HLA-C alleles. Inhibits the activity of NK cells thus preventing cell lysis.,miscellaneous:PubMed:15580659, identified a chromosomal rearrangement producing a recombinant gene composed of the promoter and first exon of KIR2DL5A fused to KIR3DP1 which was originally thought to be a pseudogene. This leads to the expression in 4.5 percent of a Spanish Caucasoid population of an mRNA which may encode a chimeric protein KIR2DL5A/KIR3DP1.,similarity:Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily.,similarity:Contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,similarity:Contains 3 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,tissue specificity:Expressed in peripheral blood cells.,
