SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	play a predominant role in natural killer cell activation during the process of natural cytotoxicity against most tumor target cells
	stimulatory receptor on NK cells implicated in tumor immunity, and is capable of promoting or terminating dendritic cell maturation
	may play an important role during alloactivation
	critical and differential roles of NCR1- and NCR3-activating receptors expressed by uterine NK cells in early pregnancy
	NCR1, NCR2, NCR3 are thought to be NK lineage restricted
	with NCR2 and NCR1, are type I transmembrane proteins that signal NK cell activation via ITAM-containing adapter proteins in response to stress- and pathogen-induced ligands
	recognizes B7H6, a member of the B7 family which is expressed on tumor, but not healthy, cells
	critical for the elimination of a large group of tumor cell types
	involved in the recognition of tumor and dendritic cells
