Background: KIR/CD158
KIR is a family of immunoglobulin-like receptors expressed on NK cells and some T cells. Family members with long (L) cytoplasmic tails deliver inhibitory signals and those with short (S) cytoplasmic tails deliver activating signals. Several KIR proteins are known to recognize particular alleles of MHC class I proteins.
