| 描述 | Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL1 (KIR2DL1) is an inhibitory Natural Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor with two extracellular immunoglobulin domains. KIR2DL1 down-regulates the cytotoxicity of NK cells upon recognition of specific class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on target cells. It has been reported that the KIR2DL1 is bound to its class I MHC ligand, HLA-Cw4. The KIR2DL1-HLA-Cw4 interface exhibits charge and shape complementarity. KIR/HLA-I interactions can act through inhibition of NKC activation by target cells and NKC licensing for greater intrinsic responsiveness. | ||
