Gene: NCR3

Alternate names for this Gene: 1C7|CD337|LY117|MALS|NKp30

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a natural cytotoxicity receptor (NCR) that may aid NK cells in the lysis of tumor cells. The encoded protein interacts with CD3-zeta (CD247), a T-cell receptor. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the 5' untranslated region of this gene has been associated with mild malaria suceptibility. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p21.33

Description of this Gene: natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 3

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: LST1

Alternate names for this Gene: B144|D6S49E|LST-1

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane protein that can inhibit the proliferation of lymphocytes. Expression of this gene is enhanced by lipopolysaccharide, interferon-gamma, and bacteria. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
