KLRD1

Natural 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. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Interaction

Can form disulfide-bonded heterodimer with NKG2 family members KLRC1 and KLRC2 (PubMed:18083576, PubMed:18332182, PubMed:18448674, PubMed:9655483). KLRD1-KLRC1 heterodimer interacts with peptide-bound HLA-E-B2M heterotrimeric complex. KLRD1 plays a prominent role in directly interacting with HLA-E (PubMed:18083576). KLRD1-KLRC1 interacts with much higher affinity with peptide-bound HLA-E-B2M than KLRD1-KLRC2 (PubMed:9486650, PubMed:10428963). Interacts with the adapter protein TYROBP/DAP12; this interaction is required for cell surface expression and cell activation (PubMed:9655483, PubMed:15940674).
