Differentiation-coupled intron retention reveals a candidate NKG2D-TR-like isoform at the murine Klrk1 locus
2026-08-25
Abstract excerpt
NKG2D (encoded by KLRK1 in humans and Klrk1 in mice) is an activating receptor expressed by cytotoxic lymphocytes. In humans, NKG2D signaling is regulated post-transcriptionally: activated T cells retain intron 4 of KLRK1 to generate NKG2D-TR, a truncated dominant-negative isoform that limits receptor signaling. Whether mice, the principal preclinical model for NKG2D-directed therapies, possess an analogous regula...
