LILRA1, LIR6, Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily A member 1, CD85 antigen-like family member I, Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor 6, LIR-6, CD antigen CD85i
This gene encodes an activating member of the leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor (LIR) family, which is found in a gene cluster at chromosomal region 19q13.4. The encoded protein is predominantly expressed in B cells, interacts with major histocompatibility complex class I ligands, and contributes to the regulation of immune responses. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
