KLRC4-KLRK1
Description
The KLRC4-KLRK1 (KLRC4-KLRK1 readthrough) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 12.
The KLRC4-KLRK1 gene is a gene that is located on human chromosome 12. It encodes a protein that is part of the killer cell lectin-like receptor (KLR) family. These proteins play a role in the innate immune response by recognizing and binding to specific carbohydrate ligands on target cells. The protein encoded by KLRC4-KLRK1 is expressed on natural killer (NK) cells, a type of immune cell that is responsible for killing infected or cancerous cells. Upon binding to its ligand, this protein triggers a signaling cascade that leads to the activation of NK cells and the destruction of target cells.

This gene is also thought to be involved in the regulation of immune responses and the development of autoimmune diseases.
