| UniProt functional annotation for A6NI73 | |||
| UniProt code: A6NI73. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | May play a role in triggering innate immune responses. Does not seem to play a role for any class I MHC antigen recognition. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16675463}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12393390}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform 3]: Secreted {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12393390}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed mostly in tissues of the hematopoietic system, including bone marrow, spleen, lymph node and peripheral leukocytes. Among leukocytes, monocytes and neutrophils express the highest level. Expressed in CD14+ monocytes, but not in T-cells, B- cells or natural killer (NK) cells (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12393390}. | |
