anti-CD161 antibody [10/78] (FITC)

anti-CD161 antibody [10/78] (FITC) for Flow cytometry and Rat

Overview

Product Description FITC-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal antibody [10/78] recognizes CD161
Mouse anti Rat CD161 antibody, clone 10/78 recognizes the rat Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily B protein, also known as NKR-PI or CD161. CD161 is a 233 amino acid ~60 kDa type II single pass protein containing a single C-type lectin domain. CD161 is expressed on rat NK cells and T cell subpopulations. CD161 exists in 2 forms NKR-PIa and NKR-PIb, clone 10/78 Â recognizes both forms of CD161 (Li et al. 2003). Clone 10/78 competes with another anti CD161 clone, 3.2.3 for binding to antigen.Mouse anti Rat CD161 antibody, clone 10/78 has been successfully employed for the in vivo depletion of rat NK cells in an experimental obesity model (Wrann et al. 2010).

GeneID: 689817 Rat KLRB1

Swiss-port # Q0ZUP0 Rat Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily B member 1

Gene Symbol Klrb1a
Gene Full Name killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily B, member 1A
Background Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that mediate cytotoxicity and secrete cytokines after immune stimulation. Several genes of the C-type lectin superfamily, including the rodent NKRP1 family of glycoproteins, are expressed by NK cells and may be involved in the regulation of NK cell function. The KLRB1 protein contains an extracellular domain with several motifs characteristic of C-type lectins, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. The KLRB1 protein is classified as a type II membrane protein because it has an external C terminus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function Plays an inhibitory role on natural killer (NK) cells cytotoxicity. Activation results in specific acid sphingomyelinase/SMPD1 stimulation with subsequent marked elevation of intracellular ceramide. Activation also leads to AKT1/PKB and RPS6KA1/RSK1 kinases stimulation as well as markedly enhanced T-cell proliferation induced by anti-CD3. Acts as a lectin that binds to the terminal carbohydrate Gal-alpha(1,3)Gal epitope as well as to the N-acetyllactosamine epitope. Binds also to CLEC2D/LLT1 as a ligand and inhibits NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity as well as interferon-gamma secretion in target cells. [UniProt]
