Human CD94, recombinant (N-6His)

Recombinant Human Natural Killer Cells Antigen CD94 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ser34-Ile179 is expressed with a 6His tag at the N-terminus. Protein function: Immune receptor involved in self-nonself discrimination. In complex with KLRC1 or KLRC2 on cytotoxic and regulatory lymphocyte subsets, recognizes non-classical major histocompatibility (MHC) class Ib molecule HLA-E loaded with self-peptides derived from the signal sequence of classical MHC class Ia and non-classical MHC class Ib molecules (PubMed:9486650, PubMed:10023772, PubMed:18083576, PubMed:18064301, PubMed:9754572). Enables cytotoxic cells to monitor the expression of MHC class I molecules in healthy cells and to tolerate self (PubMed:9430220, PubMed:12387742, PubMed:18064301). Primarily functions as a ligand binding subunit as it lacks the capacity to signal. [The UniProt Consortium]
