Summary
LILRA2-activation of monocytes is distinct from LPS activation, as assessed by the secreted cytokine profile. LILRA2 cross-linking also results in inhibition of FCGR1A-dependent phagocytosis in monocytes.
Entrez Gene
Summary This gene encodes a member of the leukocyte Ig-like receptor (LIR) family of immunoreceptors that are expressed predominantly on monocytes and B cells, and at lower levels on dendritic cells and natural killer cells. The LIR family comprises of activating (subfamily A) and inhibitory (subfamily B) cell-surface receptors. The LIR encoded by this gene was shown to be an activating receptor for eosinophils that elicited the release of cytotoxic granule proteins, de novo lipid mediator generation, and cytokine release through vesicular transport. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]
This gene encodes a member of a family of immunoreceptors that are expressed predominantly on monocytes and B cells, and at lower levels on dendritic cells and natural killer cells. The encoded protein is an activating receptor that inhibits dendritic cell differentiation and antigen presentation and suppresses innate immune response. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found. This gene is located in a cluster of related genes on chromosome 19 and there is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 3. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
