ALEXA FLUOR 488 Rabbit anti-Mouse NKG2D Polyclonal Antibody, ALEXA FLUOR 488 Conjugated [IgG]

NKG2D; Nkrp2; NKG2-D type II integral membrane protein; Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily K member 1; NK cell receptor D; NK lectin-like receptor; NKLLR; NKG2-D-activating NK receptor; NKR-P2; CD314; Klrk1

Function as an activating and costimulatory receptor involved in immunosurveillance upon binding to various cellular stress-inducible ligands displayed at the surface of autologous tumor cells and virus-infected cells. Provides both stimulatory and costimulatory innate immune responses on activated killer (NK) cells, leading to cytotoxic activity. Acts as a costimulatory receptor for T-cell receptor (TCR) in CD8(+) T-cell-mediated adaptive immune responses by amplifying T-cell activation. Stimulates perforin-mediated elimination of ligand-expressing tumor cells. Signaling involves calcium influx, culminating in the expression of TNF-alpha. Participates in NK cell-mediated bone marrow graft rejection. May play a regulatory role in differentiation and survival of NK cells. Binds to ligands belonging to various subfamilies of MHC class I-related glycoproteins.
