    Summary
    Predicted to enable HLA-E specific inhibitory MHC class Ib receptor activity and MHC class I protein complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity and stimulatory C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in liver. Orthologous to several human genes including KLRC1 (killer cell lectin like receptor C1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
