SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	major activating receptor involved in the recognition and lysis of tumor cells
	IL3-mediated induction of NCR2 on IPCs (interferon-producing cells) may be an important component of the ongoing crosstalk between the innate and adaptive immune response that allows memory CD8+ T cells to control the IPC response to virus
	playing a role in natural killer cell activation
	NCR1, NCR2, NCR3 are thought to be NK lineage restricted
	mediates interaction of the envelope glycoproteins from the West Nile and dengue viruses with NK cells
	with NCR1 and NCR3, are type I transmembrane proteins that signal NK cell activation via ITAM-containing adapter proteins in response to stress- and pathogen-induced ligands

protein	binding to TYROBP
	LAIR1, highly expressed by plasmacytoid dendritic cells, acts complementary with NCR2 to control IFNA production
