PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

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
