ARMS2 Gene

age-related maculopathy susceptibility 2

This gene encodes a small secreted protein specific to primates. This protein is a component of the choroidal extracellular matrix of the eye. Mutations in this gene are associated with age-related macular degeneration. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2017]

MENAQ1 Gene

Menarche, age at, QTL

NCR3 Gene

natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 3

The protein encoded by this gene is a natural cytotoxicity receptor (NCR) that may aid NK cells in the lysis of tumor cells. The encoded protein interacts with CD3-zeta (CD247), a T-cell receptor. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the 5' untranslated region of this gene has been associated with mild malaria suceptibility. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

NCR1 Gene

natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 1

Predicted to be involved in immune response-regulating signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to virus and detection of virus. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be part of SWI/SNF complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Biomarker of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome; anogenital venereal wart; hepatitis C; and lymphoproliferative syndrome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

NKS1 Gene

natural killer cell susceptibility 1

CD244 Gene

CD244 molecule, natural killer cell receptor 2B4

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]

NCR3LG1 Gene

natural killer cell cytotoxicity receptor 3 ligand 1

B7H6 belongs to the B7 family (see MIM 605402) and is selectively expressed on tumor cells. Interaction of B7H6 with NKp30 (NCR3; MIM 611550) results in natural killer (NK) cell activation and cytotoxicity (Brandt et al., 2009 [PubMed 19528259]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 2011]

PRG2 Gene

proteoglycan 2, bone marrow (natural killer cell activator, eosinophil granule major basic protein)

The protein encoded by this gene is the predominant constituent of the crystalline core of the eosinophil granule. High levels of the proform of this protein are also present in placenta and pregnancy serum, where it exists as a complex with several other proteins including pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA), angiotensinogen (AGT), and C3dg. This protein may be involved in antiparasitic defense mechanisms as a cytotoxin and helminthotoxin, and in immune hypersensitivity reactions. The encoded protein contains a peptide that displays potent antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, and fungi. It is directly implicated in epithelial cell damage, exfoliation, and bronchospasm in allergic diseases. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]

NCR2 Gene

natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 2

Predicted to enable signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular defense response and signal transduction. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cell surface. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

NKTR Gene

natural killer cell triggering receptor

This gene encodes a membrane-anchored protein with a hydrophobic amino terminal domain and a cyclophilin-like PPIase domain. It is present on the surface of natural killer cells and facilitates their binding to targets. Its expression is regulated by IL2 activation of the cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

NKG7 Gene

natural killer cell granule protein 7

Involved in defense response to protozoan. Located in cytolytic granule membrane and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

LOC100271717 Gene
