The interaction between NK-cell and target cells via this receptor is thought to modulate NK-cell cytolytic activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009] Expression Biased expression in spleen (RPKM 7.3), bone marrow (RPKM 3.3) and 12 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
