HGNC Family | Immunoglobulin superfamily domain containing, Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) |
Name | killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor, two domains, short cytoplasmic tail, 3 |
Description | Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are transmembrane glycoproteins expressed by natural killer cells and subsets of T cells. The KIR genes are polymorphic and highly homologous and they are found in a cluster on chromosome 19q13.4 within the 1 Mb leukocyte receptor complex (LRC). The gene content of the KIR gene cluster varies among haplotypes, although several `framework` genes are found in all haplotypes (KIR3DL3, KIR3DP1, KIR3DL4, KIR3DL2). The KIR proteins are classified by the number of extracellular immunoglobulin domains (2D or 3D) and by whether they have a long (L) or short (S) cytoplasmic domain. KIR proteins with the long cytoplasmic domain transduce inhibitory signals upon ligand binding via an immune tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM), while KIR proteins with the short cytoplasmic domain lack the ITIM motif and instead associate with the TYRO protein tyrosine kinase binding protein to transduce activating signals. The ligands for several KIR proteins are subsets of HLA class I molecules; thus, KIR proteins are thought to play an important role in regulation of the immune response.

{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nKIR2DS3 is an activating receptor gene expressed on natural killer (NK) cells that plays a modulatory role in innate immune responses during viral infections. In a study of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in a highly homogeneous Irish cohort, it was observed that the prevalence of KIR2DS3 was significantly higher in patients with chronic infection compared with those who spontaneously resolved the virus. This association suggests that the engagement of KIR2DS3 on NK cells may alter their functional activity in a way that predisposes individuals to an impaired antiviral response."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\nDissection of the genetic factors revealed that the risk conveyed by KIR2DS3 is further amplified when present in combination with specific alleles in the interferon‐lambda (IL28B) locus.
