UniProt code: Q9UHP7.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Receptor for KLRB1 that protects target cells against natural killer cell-mediated lysis (PubMed:20843815, PubMed:16339513). Inhibits osteoclast formation (PubMed:14753741, PubMed:15123656). Inhibits bone resorption (PubMed:14753741). Modulates the release of interferon-gamma (PubMed:15104121). Binds high molecular weight sulfated glycosaminoglycans (PubMed:15123656). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14753741, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15104121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15123656, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339513, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20843815}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15104121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20843815, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25760607, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25826155}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15104121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20843815, ECO:0000305|PubMed:16339513}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000255}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 2]: Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20843815}.
Subcellular location: [Isoform 4]: Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20843815}.
Tissue specificity: Detected in peripheral blood leukocytes, osteoblasts, lymph node, thymus and spleen. Isoform 1, isoform 2 and isoform 4 are expressed in T- and B-lymphocytes, and at lower levels in NK cells. They are also expressed in B-cell lines and LPS-matured monocyte-derived dendritic cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10541800, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20843815}.
Induction: Up-regulated by IL1A/interleukin-1 alpha and prostaglandin E2 in cultured osteogenic sarcoma cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14753741}.
Ptm: N-glycosylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15104121, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20843815, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25760607}.
