natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 3; activating natural killer receptor p30; natural killer cell p30-related protein; NK-p30; NKp30; CD337 (NCR3, 1C7, LY117)
Function:
- cytotoxicity-activating receptor
- may contribute to the increased efficiency of activated natural killer (NK) cells to mediate tumor cell lysis
- interacts with CD3Z
Structure:
- belongs to the natural cytotoxicity receptor (NCR) family
- contains 1 Ig-like (immunoglobulin-like) domain
Compartment:
- cell membrane; single-pass type 1 membrane protein (putative)
Alternative splicing: named isoforms=6
Expression:
- selectively expressed by all resting & activated NK cells
- weakly expressed in spleen
Polymorphism:
- polymorphism in NCR3 is associated with mild suceptibility to malaria
