Recombinant Human Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor Subfamily B Member 1 Protein

The immunoglobulin-like transcript (ILT) family (also named leukocyte Ig-like receptors (LIR) and monocyte/macrophage Ig-like receptors (MIR)) can be activating and inhibitory immunoreceptors. ILTs are expressed on many leukocyte subsets and regulators of immune responses . ILTs share significant homology with killer cell Ig-like receptors (KIR). Except ILT-6, all ILT family members are type I transmembrane proteins having two or four extracellular Ig-like domains . ILT2 is expressed on most monocytes,dendritic cells,and mature B cells. ILT2 is also expressed on small percentages of T-cells and NK cells. ILT2 can prevents cellular activation.
