PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • three Ig domains and is specific for MHC class I (MHC-I) molecules belonging to the HLA-Bw4 serogroup
  • a long cytoplasmic tail, with two tyrosine based inhibitory motifs (ITIM)
  • a KIR3DL interaction site seem to be largely conserved across the KIR3D family, with specificity differences mapping to a hotspot within the interaction interface
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY killer immunoglobulin-like receptors family, KIR3D family
    CATEGORY immunity/defense , receptor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • may play an important role in regulation of the immune response
  • prominent role for KIR3DL1/HLA-Bw4 interactions in licensing NK cells for CD16-mediated effector function
  • recognizes HLA class I allotypes that contain the Bw4 serological epitope spanning residues 77–83 on the alpha1-helix
  • inhibitory killer cell Ig-like receptor (KIR) implicated in resistance to viral diseases such as AIDS
