UniProt data
UniProt name: PILRA_HUMAN (Q9UKJ1)
Gene name: PILRA
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Function: Paired receptors consist of highly related activating and inhibitory receptors and are widely involved in the regulation of the immune system. PILRA is thought to act as a cellular signaling inhibitory receptor by recruiting cytoplasmic phosphatases like PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2 via their SH2 domains that block signal transduction through dephosphorylation of signaling molecules. Receptor for PIANP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10903717, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18358807, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21241660}.
Subcellular location: Isoform 4: Secreted {ECO:0000305}.
Transmembrane domains:
- 198-218, 21 AA, Helical. {ECO:0000255}.
Sequence: 303 AA
