anti-NKG2A + C + E antibody [20d5] (low endotoxin)

anti-NKG2A + C + E antibody [20d5] (low endotoxin) for Flow cytometry,Functional study and Mouse

Overview

Product Description Azide free and low endotoxin Rat Monoclonal antibody [20d5] recognizes NKG2A + C + E
This antibody recognizes murine NKG2A, NKG2C and NKG2E, which are isoforms of the NKG2 lectin-like family. In mice, NKG2 subunits associate with CD94 to form heterodimers at the surface of natural killer (NK) cells.
The CD94/NKG2 heterodimer is the receptor for a non-classical MHC class I ligand, which is Qa-1 in the mouse (Colmenero et al. 2007).
Rat anti Mouse NKG2A/C/E, clone 20d5 is reported to block ligand binding to the receptor (Vance et al. 1999).

Bioinformation

Gene Symbol KLRC1
Gene Full Name killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily C, member 1
Background Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that can mediate lysis of certain tumor cells and virus-infected cells without previous activation. They can also regulate specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the killer cell lectin-like receptor family, also called NKG2 family, which is a group of transmembrane proteins preferentially expressed in NK cells. This family of proteins is characterized by the type II membrane orientation and the presence of a C-type lectin domain. This protein forms a complex with another family member, KLRD1/CD94, and has been implicated in the recognition of the MHC class I HLA-E molecules in NK cells. The genes of NKG2 family members form a killer cell lectin-like receptor gene cluster on chromosome 12. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
Function Plays a role as a receptor for the recognition of MHC class I HLA-E molecules by NK cells and some cytotoxic T-cells. [UniProt]
