Some human KIR haplotypes contain two KIR2DL5 genes: KIR2DL5A and KIR2DL5B.

Immunogenetics - 1 Aug 2002

Gómez-Lozano Natalia, Gardiner Clair M, Parham Peter, Vilches Carlos

Abstract excerpt

Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) comprise a family of structurally diverse proteins encoded by a compact cluster of genes located in human Chromosome 19q13.4. The most recently described member of the KIR family, KIR2DL5, is represented in human populations by at least four gene variants, whose exons differ by two to eight nucleotides. We show here that these structurally similar variants are...
