| 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 |
