| UniProt functional annotation for O88713 | |||
| UniProt code: O88713. |
| Organism: | Mus musculus (Mouse). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus. | |
| Function: | Plays an inhibitory role on natural killer (NK) cells and T- cell functions upon binding to their non-MHC ligands. May mediate missing self recognition by binding to a highly conserved site on classical cadherins, enabling it to monitor expression of E- cadherin/CDH1, N-cadherin/CDH2 and R-cadherin/CDH4 on target cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19604491}. | |
| Subunit: | Forms a monomer and homodimer; disulfide-linked (By similarity). Interacts (via ITIM motif) with PTPN11 and INPP5D. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17307799, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19604491}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19604491}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19604491}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed specifically on natural killer (NK) cells and activated CD8 T-cells. Not detected in spleen, thymus, lymph node, testis, brain or kidney. Not detected on mast cell lines, bone marrow- derived mast cells, or peritoneal mast cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9862378, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9862665}. | |
| Induction: | By pathogens and viruses infections. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11673487, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11884419}. | |
| Domain: | Contains 1 copy of a cytoplasmic motif that is referred to as the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM). This motif is involved in modulation of cellular responses. Upon phosphorylation of ITIM motif KLRG1 associates with the two phosphatases, PTPN11 and INPP5D. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated in response to monoclonal antibody G63 binding and antigenic stimulation. {ECO:0000250}. | |
