Mus musculus PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a reporter allele display altered natural killer (NK) T cell physiology and enhanced NK cell cytolysis. Mice homozygous for knock-out allele display abnormal mast cell physiology as well as enhanced NK cell cytolysis. [provided by MGI curators]

Mus musculus PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice have defects in Natural Killer (NK) cell development, diminished NK-mediated cytolysis of tumor cells, and resistance to MCMV infection. [provided by MGI curators]

Mus musculus PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene lead to alterations in susceptibility to viral infection induced morbidity/mortality, NK cell number, NK cell cytolysis, and T cell responses. [provided by MGI curators]

Homo sapiens Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that can mediate lysis of certain tumor cells and virus-infected cells without previous activation. They can also regulate specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity. NK cells preferentially express several calcium-dependent (C-type) lectins, which have been implicated in the regulation of NK cell function. KLRC3 is a member of the NKG2 group which are expressed primarily in natural killer (NK) cells and encodes a family of transmembrane proteins characterized by a type II membrane orientation (extracellular C terminus) and the presence of a C-type lectin domain. The NKG2 gene family is located within the NK complex, a region that contains several C-type lectin genes preferentially expressed on NK cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Mus musculus PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have hematopoietic cells with impaired proliferative properties. Lymphocyte development and function is altered, particularly with respect to NK cells and NK-T cells. [provided by MGI curators]
- Cd244 [Search on AGR]
Homo sapiens This gene encodes a cell surface receptor expressed on natural killer (NK) cells (and some T cells) that mediate non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) restricted killing. The interaction between NK-cell and target cells via this receptor is thought to modulate NK-cell cytolytic activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
