PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a single Ig-like domain
  • a cytoplasmic tail
  • a immunoreceptor tyrosine based inhibitory motif (ITIM)
    • HOMOLOGY
    intraspecies homolog to LAIR1
    Homologene
    FAMILY immunoglobulin superfamily
    CATEGORY receptor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
        plasma membrane
    text membrane protein type 1
    basic FUNCTION
  • may function as a natural competitor for LAIR1, thereby regulating its inhibitory potential
  • prevents binding of LAIR1 to collagens, suggesting that the protein has an immunoregulatory function
  • alterations in LAIR2 may play an etiologic role in preeclampsia
  • has the capacity to interfere with platelet-collagen interactions mediated by Glycoprotein VI and the VWF/Glycoprotein Ib axis

    protein
  • LAIR1 and LAIR2 bind several of these collagen-like peptides, with LAIR2 being able to bind more than LAIR1
  • binds collagen and can interfere with LAIR1/collagen interactions
