Receptors, NK Cell Lectin-Like

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Structurally-related receptors that are typically found on NATURAL KILLER CELLS. They are considered lectin-like proteins in that they share sequence homology with the carbohydrate binding domains of C-TYPE LECTINS. They differ from classical C-type lectins, however, in that they appear to lack CALCIUM-binding domains.     
Examples NK Cell Lectin-Like Receptor Subfamily A; NK Cell Lectin-Like Receptor Subfamily B; NK Cell Lectin-Like Receptor Subfamily C; NK Cell Lectin-Like Receptor Subfamily D; NK Cell Lectin-Like Receptor Subfamily K 		Other names Receptors, NK Cell Lectin Like; Natural Killer Cell Lectin Like Receptors; NK Cell Lectin Like Receptors; Killer Cell Lectin Like Receptors; Receptors, Killer Cell Lectin-Like; Natural Killer Cell Lectin-Like Receptors; NK Cell Lectin-Like Receptors; Killer Cell Lectin-Like Receptors
