Background: KIR2DS5/CD158g

Killer-immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) are polymorphous activating and inhibitory receptors expressed on the surface of NK cells and some T cells. KIR genes are highly homologous. KIR proteins expressing the long (L) cytoplasmic domain are inhibitory, while KIRs with short (S) cytoplasmic domains are activating. Thus, KIR2DS5 is an activating receptor for NK cells, and is thought to play a role in NK cell function in response to a number of conditions. While many KIR proteins bind HLA-class I molecules, the ligand(s) for KIR2DS5 remain unknown.
