Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 1

Definition:

Receptor for class I MHC antigens. Recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-G and HLA-F alleles. Receptor for H301/UL18, a human cytomegalovirus class I MHC homolog. Ligand binding results in inhibitory signals and down-regulation of the immune response. Engagement of LILRB1 present on natural killer cells or T-cells by class I MHC molecules protects the target cells from lysis. Interaction with HLA-B or HLA-E leads to inhibition of FCER1A signaling and serotonin release. Inhibits FCGR1A-mediated phosphorylation of cellular proteins and mobilization of intracellular calcium ions. Recognizes HLA-G in complex with B2M/beta-2 microglobulin and a nonamer self-peptide. Upon interaction with peptide-bound HLA-G-B2M complex, triggers secretion of growth-promoting factors by decidual NK cells. Reprograms B cells toward an immune suppressive phenotype.
