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]. * **UniProt Summary**: Heterophilic receptor of the signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) family; its ligand is CD48. SLAM receptors triggered by homo- or heterotypic cell-cell interactions are modulating the activation and differentiation of a wide variety of immune cells and thus are involved in the regulation and interconnection of both innate and adaptive immune response. Activities are controlled by presence or absence of small cytoplasmic adapter proteins, SH2D1A/SAP and/or SH2D1B/EAT-2. Acts as activating natural killer (NK) cell receptor (PubMed:10359122, PubMed:8376943, PubMed:11714776). Activating function implicates association with SH2D1A and FYN (PubMed:15713798). Downstreaming signaling involves predominantly VAV1, and, to a lesser degree, INPP5D/SHIP1 and CBL. Signal attenuation in the absence of SH2D1A is proposed to be dependent on INPP5D and to a lesser extent PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2 (PubMed:10934222, PubMed:15713798). Stimulates NK cell cytotoxicity, production of IFN-gamma and granule exocytosis (PubMed:8376943, PubMed:11714776). Optimal expansion and activation of NK cells seems to be dependent on the engagement of CD244 with CD48 expressed on neighboring NK cells (By similarity). Acts as costimulator in NK activation by enhancing signals by other NK receptors such as NCR3 and NCR1 (PubMed:10741393). At early stages of NK cell differentiation may function as an inhibitory receptor possibly ensuring the self- tolerance of developing NK cells (PubMed:11917118). Involved in the regulation of CD8(+) T-cell proliferation; expression on activated T-cells and binding to CD488 provides costimulatory-like function for neighboring T-cells (By similarity). Inhibits inflammatory responses in dendritic cells (DCs) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q07763, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10359122, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10741393, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10934222, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11714776, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11917118, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8376943, ECO:0000305|PubMed:15713798}. |Receptor 2B4| |positive regulation of granzyme B production| |regulation of granzyme B production| |positive regulation of interferon-gamma secretion| |regulation of interferon-gamma secretion| |positive regulation of inositol phosphate biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of interleukin-8 secretion| |regulation of inositol phosphate biosynthetic process| |MHC class I protein binding| |natural killer cell activation involved in immune response| |regulation of interleukin-8 secretion| |positive regulation of alcohol biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of interleukin-8 production| |natural killer cell activation| |positive regulation of cellular carbohydrate metabolic process| |positive regulation of interferon-gamma production| |regulation of interleukin-8 production| |regulation of alcohol biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of carbohydrate metabolic process| |regulation of carbohydrate biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of production of molecular mediator of immune response| |regulation of interferon-gamma production| |lymphocyte activation involved in immune response| |positive regulation of small molecule metabolic process| |regulation of cellular carbohydrate metabolic process| |positive regulation of cytokine secretion| |regulation of production of molecular mediator of immune response| |signaling receptor activity| |regulation of carbohydrate metabolic process| |regulation of cytokine secretion| |positive regulation of immune effector process| |positive regulation of protein secretion| |positive regulation of peptide secretion| |leukocyte migration| |lymphocyte activation| |external side of plasma membrane| |positive regulation of secretion by cell| |positive regulation of protein transport| |regulation of small molecule metabolic process| |positive regulation of secretion| |positive regulation of cytokine production| |positive regulation of establishment of protein localization| |regulation of protein secretion| |regulation of immune effector process| |regulation of peptide secretion| |adaptive immune response| |leukocyte activation involved in immune response| |cell activation involved in immune response| |regulation of cytokine production| |regulation of protein transport| |regulation of peptide transport| |regulation of establishment of protein localization| |regulation of secretion by cell| |innate immune response| |regulation of secretion| |leukocyte activation| |defense response to other organism| |cell migration| |positive regulation of transport| |regulation of protein localization| |cell activation| |localization of cell| |cell motility| |immune effector process| |positive regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |positive regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |positive regulation of immune system process| |response to other organism| |response to external biotic stimulus| |locomotion| |response to biotic stimulus| |defense response| |movement of cell or subcellular component| |regulation of immune system process| |positive regulation of multicellular organismal process| |regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |regulation of transport| |immune response| |positive regulation of cellular biosynthetic process| |positive regulation of biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp242|Radicicol 0.16μM R05 exp242]]|1.9| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
