Facts about Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily E member 1.
Heterodimer formation with KLRI1 mediates NK cell inhibition whereas heterodimer formation with KLRI2 mediates NK cell activation (PubMed:18713988). Plays a role in allogeneic recognition by the immune system (PubMed:14707119, PubMed:15069013).

Expressed in natural killer (NK) cells (at protein level) (PubMed:12782717, PubMed:14707119, PubMed:12715246). Also detected in natural killer T (NKT) cells (at protein level) (PubMed:14707119, PubMed:12715246). Has little or no expression in T cells (at protein level) (PubMed:14707119, PubMed:12715246).
