Summary: Enables several functions, including MHC class I protein binding activity; MHC class Ib receptor activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of interferon-gamma production; positive regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process; and response to bacterium. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in tropical spastic paraparesis. Orthologous to several human genes including KLRC4-KLRK1 (KLRC4-KLRK1 readthrough). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
