Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that can mediate lysis of certain tumor cells and virus-infected cells without previous activation. They can also regulate specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the killer cell lectin-like receptor (KLR) family, which is a group of transmembrane proteins preferentially expressed in NK cells. Studies in mice suggested that the expression of this gene may be regulated by MHC class I molecules. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016]
A study in humans analyzing peripheral blood samples from myocardial infarction patients identified a 13-gene signature (HF.Sig) for predicting post-MI heart failure risk, which included the KLRG1 [Sun et al. DOI:10.3389/fimmu.2023.1163350].
