Structure
- contains 3 Ig-like C2-type domains (immunoglobulin-like)
Compartment
Expression
- expressed in peripheral blood cells
Genetics
- chromosomal rearrangement producing a recombinant gene composed of the promoter & first exon of KIR2DL5A fused to KIR3DP1 which was originally thought to be a pseudogene; this leads to the expression in 4.5% of a Spanish Caucasoid population of an mRNA which may encode a chimeric protein KIR2DL5A/KIR3DP1[2]
