Function
- receptor for class 1 MHC antigens
- recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C & HLA-G alleles
- involved in down-regulation of the immune response & development of tolerance
- competes with CD8A for binding to class 1 MHC antigens
- inhibits FCGR1A-mediated phosphorylation of cellular proteins & mobilization of intracellular Ca+2
- phosphorylated on Tyr
- dephosphorylated by PTPN6
- binds PTPN6 when phosphorylated
- binds FCGR1A
Structure
- contains 3 ITIM motifs
- phosphorylated ITIM motif can bind the SH2 domain of several SH2 domain-containing phosphatases
- contains 4 Ig-like C2-type domains
Compartment
- membrane; single-pass type 1 membrane protein
Alternative splicing
named isoforms=2
Expression
- expressed on monocytes & B-cells
- lower levels on dendritic cells
- detected at low levels in NK cells
