KIR2DL2 polyclonal antibody

NKAT (NK-associated transcripts) gene products, known as killer immunoglobulin-like receptors or KIRs, downregulate the cytotoxicity of NK cells upon recognition of specific class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on target cells. This family of receptors is characterized by an extracellular region with two to three immunoglobulin superfamily domains and a cytoplasmic domain with an antigen receptor activation motif (ARAM) . KIRs and other inhibitory receptors also possess a common cytoplasmic sequence (I/VxYxxL/V) known as an ITIM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif) . The human inhibitory natural killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL1, also designated KIR2DL1, CL-42, NKAT1, P58.1 or CD158a long form, is a 348 amino acid type I transmembrane protein. KIR2DL1 can bind human leukocyte antigen-C (HLA-C) via both polar and hydrophobic interactions through Met 44 in a binding pocket that coordinates Lys 80 of HLA-C.
