Background: NKG2C/CD159c

NKG2C, also known as hemoglobin scavenger receptor, is a type I transmembrane protein expressed exclusively in monocytes and macrophages. It is a scavenger receptor cysteine-rich superfamily (SRCR-SF) protein that contains nine SRCR motifs in its extracellular region. MAB1381 displays potent agonistic activity and also blocks the binding of the NKG2C/CD94 heterodimer to HLA-E tetramers (1-3).
