Gene information for Klra2 (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID16633
Official gene symbolKlra2
Full namekiller cell lectin-like receptor, subfamily A, member 2
AliasesKlra30,Ly49b
Gene summaryThe gene is a member of the large lectin-like type 2 transmembrane receptor family of the natural killer gene complex. The gene is located distantly telomeric to its family's gene cluster on chromosome 6. The gene differs from the other genes in its cluster as its promoter region contains long and short interspersed repetitive elements suggesting a possible rearrangement or gene conversion. It is unknown whether this gene's encoded protein is involved with natural killer cell differentiation as are its other family members. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
