KLRC2 - killer cell lectin like receptor C2 Gene
Also Known as NKG2C; CD159c; NKG2-C
Species: Homo sapiens
About KLRC2
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 460 orthologues and 23 paralogues. Biased expression in brain (RPKM 6.7), spleen (RPKM 3.4) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that can mediate lysis of certain tumor cells and virus-infected cells without previous activation. They can also regulate specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity. NK cells preferentially express several calcium-dependent (C-type) lectins, which have been implicated in the regulation of NK cell function. The group, designated KLRC (NKG2) are expressed primarily in natural killer (NK) cells and encodes a family of transmembrane proteins characterized by a type II membrane orientation (extracellular C terminus) and the presence of a C-type lectin domain. The KLRC (NKG2) gene family is located within the NK complex, a region that contains several C-type lectin genes preferentially expressed on NK cells. KLRC2 alternative splice variants have been described but their full-length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
