Abstract excerpt
CD94 forms heterodimers with NKG2A, -C, or -E to constitute lectin-like natural killer cell receptors for MHC-E. Its structure differs from other C-type lectins in that the second α-helix is replaced by a loop that forms the interacting interface with the NKG2 molecules. Although CD94 has remained highly conserved mammals, several alternative splicing variants have been detected in some species. To evaluate the...
