Alternative products:A number of isoforms are produced,Receptor for MICA, MICB, ULBP1, ULBP2, ULBP3 (ULBP2>ULBP1>ULBP3) and ULBP4. Plays a role as a receptor for the recognition of MHC class I HLA-E molecules by NK cells and some cytotoxic T-cells. Involved in the immune surveillance exerted by T- and B-lymphocytes.,miscellaneous:Structurally distinct families of ligands for mouse and human NKG2D receptors have been characterized. They might be orthologs.,online information:NKG-2D,similarity:Contains 1 C-type lectin domain.,subunit:Homodimer. Interacts with DAP10. The interaction with DAP10 is required for NKG2D cell surface expression.,tissue specificity:Natural killer cells. Expressed on essentially all CD56+CD3- NK cells from freshly isolated PBMC. Also detected in gamma-delta cells and CD8+ alpha-beta T-cells. Expressed in interferon-producing killer dendritic cells (IKDCs).,
