Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for KLRG1(NM_005810.4) Search again
Powered by BiozBy default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.
Summary
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that can mediate lysis of certain tumor cells and virus-infected cells without previous activation. They can also regulate specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the killer cell lectin-like receptor (KLR) family, which is a group of transmembrane proteins preferentially expressed in NK cells.
Gene References into function
- human effector and memory T cells expressing KLRG1 lack proliferative capacity
- KLRG1 expression discriminated between cord blood T cells that differed in their post-thymic expansion rate
- KLRG1 is expressed in the overwhelming majority of CD8-positive T cells specific for epitopes of cytomegalovirus or Epstein- Barr virus during the latent stage; a slightly lower KLRG1 expression level is observed in HIV-specific T8 cells.
- virus-specific CD8+ T cells are mostly KLRG1+ in chronic viral infections (human immunodeficiency virus, cytomegalovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus) but not in resolved infection (influenza virus)
- peripheral HCV-specific CD8+ T cells were CD127+ and KLRG1-; Intrahepatic virus-specific CD8+ T cells displayed significantly reduced levels of CD127 expression but similar levels of KLRG1 expression compared to the peripheral blood.
- study demonstrates that E-cadherin represents a ligand for KLRG1 and that ligation of KLRG1 by E-cadherin inhibited effector cell functions of polyclonal NK cells
