Gene information for LILRA2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11027
Official gene symbolLILRA2
Full nameleukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor, subfamily A (with TM domain), member 2
Aliases,CD85H,ILT1,LIR-7,LIR7,
Gene summaryLeukocyte Ig-like receptors (LIRs) are a family of immunoreceptors expressed predominantly on monocytes and B cells and at lower levels on dendritic cells and natural killer (NK) cells. All LIRs in subfamily B have an inhibitory function (see, e.g., LILRB1, MIM 604811). LIRs in subfamily A, with short cytoplasmic domains lacking an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) and with transmembrane regions containing a charged arginine residue, may initiate stimulatory cascades. One member of subfamily A (LILRA3; MIM 604818) lacks a transmembrane region and is presumed to be a soluble receptor.[supplied by OMIM]
