Gene information for KLRD1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3824
Official gene symbolKLRD1
Full namekiller cell lectin-like receptor subfamily D, member 1
Aliases,CD94,
Gene summaryNatural killer (NK) cells are a distinct lineage of lymphocytes that mediate cytotoxic activity and secrete cytokines upon immune stimulation. Several genes of the C-type lectin superfamily, including members of the NKG2 family, are expressed by NK cells and may be involved in the regulation of NK cell function. KLRD1 (CD94) is an antigen preferentially expressed on NK cells and is classified as a type II membrane protein because it has an external C terminus. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
