{"symbol":"CD244","synonyms":["2B4","SLAMF4","NAIL","NMRK","NKR2B4"],"name":"CD244 molecule, natural killer cell receptor 2B4","description":"This gene encodes a cell surface receptor expressed on natural killer (NK) cells (and some T cells) that mediate non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restricted killing. The interaction between NK-cell and target cells via this receptor is thought to modulate NK-cell cytolytic activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":51744,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/51744","proteins":[{"symbol":"CD244_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/CD244_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Immunoglobulin superfamily domain containing","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Immunoglobulin+superfamily+domain+containing"},{"name":"CD molecules (CD)","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/CD+molecules+%28CD%29"}]}
