Observed Band(KD)42
Functionfunction:Modulate other receptor-ligand interactions to enhance leukocyte activation.,PTM:Phosphorylated.,similarity:Contains 2 Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,subunit:Interacts with CD48. Following phosphorylation, it is able to recruit PTPN11/SHP-2 and SH2D1A/SAP. Binding of SH2D1A/SAP to CD244 prevents its association with PTPN11/SHP-2.,tissue specificity:Expressed in spleen, PBL, followed by lung, liver, testis and small intestine. Expressed not only in NK cells, but also on monocytes and basophils.,

BackgroundCD244 molecule(CD244) Homo sapiens 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.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009],
