SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
text	type II membrane protein

basic FUNCTION	involved in the regulation of natural killer cell activity
	activating homodimeric C-type lectin-like receptor (CTLR), expressed on essentially all human natural killer (NK) cells that stimulates their cytotoxicity and cytokine release (Kuttruff 2009)
	may enable effector memory CD8 T cells to interact functionally with cells of myeloid origin at sites of inflammation (Kuttruff 2009)
