The medaka novel immune-type receptor (NITR) gene clusters reveal an extraordinary degree of divergence in variable domains.

BMC evolutionary biology - 19 Jun 2008

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Novel immune-type receptor (NITR) genes are members of diversified multigene families that are found in bony fish and encode type I transmembrane proteins containing one or two extracellular immunoglobulin (Ig) domains. The majority of NITRs can be classified as inhibitory receptors t...
