Gene: LAIR2

Alternate names for this Gene: CD306

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It was identified by its similarity to leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 1, a membrane-bound receptor that modulates innate immune response. The protein encoded by this locus is a soluble receptor that may play roles in both inhibition of collagen-induced platelet aggregation and vessel formation during placental implantation. This gene maps to a region of 19q13.4, termed the leukocyte receptor cluster, which contains 29 genes in the immunoglobulin superfamily. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19q13.42

Description of this Gene: leukocyte associated immunoglobulin like receptor 2
