Catalog Number P51030-M02H
Organism Species Mouse
Host Human Cells
Synonyms 5133400O11Rik,BB115266,D7Bwg0421e,Lair-1
Molecular Weight The recombinant mouse LAIR1 /Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 353 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 39.6 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 49-53 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
predicted N Gln 22

Background Leukocyte associated Ig-like receptor-1 (LAIR1) is a surface molecule expressed on human mononuclear leukocytes that functions as an inhibitory receptor on human NK cells. In addition to NK cells, LAIR1 is expressed on T cells, B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It is predicted to mediate inhibitory functions based on the presence of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs) in its cytoplasmic domain. Cross-linking of LAIR1 on human T cell clones results in inhibition of cytotoxicity only in T cell clones that lack CD28 and are able to spontaneously lyse certain targets in vitro. Moreover, the cytolytic activity of freshly isolated T cells, which is thought to be mainly due to "effector" T cells, can be inhibited by anti-LAIR1 mAb. Thus, LAIR1 functions as an inhibitory receptor not only on NK cells, but also on human T cells. This indicates that LAIR1 provides a mechanism of regulation of effector T cells and may play a role in the inhibition of unwanted bystander responses mediated by Ag-specific T cells.
