Abstract excerpt
The paired Ig-like type 2 receptor (PILR), which comprises both inhibitory and activating isoforms, is well conserved among most mammalians. The inhibitory PILRalpha possesses an ITIM in its cytoplasmic domain, whereas the activating PILRbeta does not have an ITIM but transduces activating signals by associating with the ITAM-bearing DAP12 adapter molecule. Both mouse PILRalpha and PILRbeta recognize mouse CD99,...
