GL183 recognizes human Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL3, also known as CD158b, KIR-023GB, MHC class I NK cell receptor, p58 natural killer cell receptor clone CL-6 or Natural killer-associated transcript 2. CD158b is a 341 amino acid, ~58 kDa single pass type-1 transmembrane glycoprotein containing two Ig-like C2-type domains. expressed by a subset of NK cells.This antibody also recognizes a ~50 kDa molecule in some NK clones, which is highly homologous to p58.2 in the extracellular domain, but has a shorter cytoplasmic tail (Moretta et al. 1985). Both molecules are members of the newly described natural killer cell receptor family.CD158b functions as a receptor specific for HLA Class I molecules, including Cw3 and related HLA-C alleles. Mouse anti Human CD158b antibody, clone GL183 can restore the lysis by human NK clones of otherwise lysis protected targets expressing Cw3.
NKAT (NK-associated transcripts) gene products, known as killer immuno-globulin-like receptors or KIRs, downregulate the cytotoxicity of NK cells upon recognition of specific class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on target cells. This family of receptors is characterized by an extracellular region with two to three immunoglobulin-superfamily domains and a cytoplasmic domain with an antigen receptor activation motif (ARAM). KIRs and other inhibitory receptors also possess a common cytoplasmic sequence (I/VxYxxL/V) known as an ITIM (immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif). The human inhibitory human killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL3 (KIR2DL3), also referred to as CD158b, is an inhibitory receptor that is specific for the human MHC class I molecule HLA-Cw3 and related alleles.
