UniProt data
UniProt name: LIRB1_HUMAN (Q8NHL6)
Gene name: LILRB1; Synonyms=ILT2, LIR1, MIR7
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Receptor for class I MHC antigens. Recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C and HLA-G alleles. Receptor for H301/UL18, a human cytomegalovirus class I MHC homolog. Ligand binding results in inhibitory signals and down-regulation of the immune response. Engagement of LILRB1 present on natural killer cells or T-cells by class I MHC molecules protects the target cells from lysis. Interaction with HLA-B or HLA-E leads to inhibition of the signal triggered by FCER1A and inhibits serotonin release. Inhibits FCGR1A-mediated phosphorylation of cellular proteins and mobilization of intracellular calcium ions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11907092, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9285411, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9842885}.
