AffiAB® Anti-Hu CD314 Purified Azide Free [1D11]

Overview

CD314, also known as NKG2D (natural killer receptor G2D) or KLRK1 (killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily K, member 1), is a homodimeric C-type lectin-like activating receptor and costimulator with type II membrane orientation (C teminus extracellular) . CD314 homodimers are associated with DAP10, a membrane adaptor protein that signals similar to CD28 by recruitment of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Engagement of CD314 amplifies antigen-specific T cell responses in CD314-positive T cell populations. In NK cells, CD314 is a primary activating receptor. As CD314 ligands the MHC class-I chain-related proteins A and B (MICA, MICB) and UL16-binding proteins (ULBPs) have been identified.
