LILRB1 / ILT-2 / CD85j [VMP55]

Clear

Summary

Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptors (LIRs) are members of the immunoglobulin superfamily of glycoproteins and are predominantly expressed by monocytes, B cells, dendritic cells, natural killer (NK) cells, peripheral blood leukocytes and tissues such as placenta, lung and liver. Immunoglobulin-like transcript 2 (ILT-2), also known as CD85 or MIR7, is a 650 amino acid glycoprotein that contains a 23 amino acid signal peptide, 4 extracellular C2-type IGSF domains and 4 intracellular ITIM motifs. ILT-2 can bind major histocompatability (MHC) class I molecules and inhibit cell termination by natural killer (NK) and T cells, and inhibit Ca2+ mobilization in myeloid cells triggered through the B cell antigen receptor and histocompatibility leukocyte antigens (HLA)-DR. ILT-2 contains four putative cytoplasmic tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs and upon tyrosine phosphorylation, associates with the tyrosine phosphatase SHP-1.

Functions

  • Receptor for class I MHC antigens. Recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-G and HLA-F alleles (PubMed:16455647, PubMed:28636952). Receptor for H301/UL18, a human cytomegalovirus class I MHC homolog. Ligand binding results in inhibitory signals and down-regulation of the immune response. Engagement of LILRB1 present on natural killer cells or T-cells by class I MHC molecules protects the target cells from lysis. Interaction with HLA-B or HLA-E leads to inhibition of FCER1A signaling and serotonin release. Inhibits FCGR1A-mediated phosphorylation of cellular proteins and mobilization of intracellular calcium ions (PubMed:11907092, PubMed:9285411, PubMed:9842885). Recognizes HLA-G in complex with B2M/beta-2 microglobulin and a nonamer self-peptide (PubMed:16455647). Upon interaction with peptide-bound HLA-G-B2M complex, triggers secretion of growth-promoting factors by decidual NK cells (PubMed:29262349, PubMed:19304799). Reprograms B cells toward an immune suppressive phenotype (PubMed:24453251).

Known Applications & Suggested Dilutions

  • Western Blot (1-2ug/ml)
  • ,Flow Cytometry (1-2ug/million cells)
  • Immunofluorescence (1-2ug/ml)
  • ,Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.
