NKTR natural killer cell triggering receptor [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 4820)
Symbol: NKTR
Full name: natural killer cell triggering receptor
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: p104
Summary: This gene encodes a membrane-anchored protein with a hydrophobic amino terminal domain and a cyclophilin-like PPIase domain. It is present on the surface of natural killer cells and facilitates their binding to targets. Its expression is regulated by IL2 activation of the cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
