Full name | | CD244 molecule, natural killer cell receptor 2B4 |
Aliases | | ,2B4,NAIL,NKR2B4,Nmrk,SLAMF4, |
Gene summary | | This gene encodes a cell surface receptor expressed on natural killer (NK) cells (and some T cells) that mediate non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restricted killing. The interaction between NK-cell and target cells via this receptor is thought to modulate NK-cell cytolytic activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. |
