UniProt functional annotation for O00241

UniProt code: O00241.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Immunoglobulin-like cell surface receptor involved in the negative regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase-coupled signaling processes. Participates also in the recruitment of tyrosine kinase SYK. Triggers activation of myeloid cells when associated with TYROBP (PubMed:10604985). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10604985}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with TYROBP. This interaction results in the recruitment of SYK. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10604985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10940905, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16081415, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18657508}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10604985}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000255}.
Tissue specificity: Detected in monocytes and dendritic cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10604985}.
Ptm: N-glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10604985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16335952}.
