Function
Paired receptors consist of highly related activating and inhibitory receptors and are widely involved in the regulation of the immune system. PILRA is thought to act as a cellular signaling inhibitory receptor by recruiting cytoplasmic phosphatases like PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2 via their SH2 domains that block signal transduction through dephosphorylation of signaling molecules. Receptor for PIANP. (Microbial infection) Acts as an entry co-receptor for herpes simplex virus 1.

- Activity summary
PILRA also known as Paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptor alpha is a protein with a mass of about 38 kDa. It belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and acts as an inhibitory receptor. PILRA is expressed mainly in human tissues such as monocytes macrophages and certain subsets of dendritic cells. It interacts with ligands through its extracellular domain and transmits inhibitory signals via its cytoplasmic tail that contains immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs).
- Biological function summary
PILRA plays a significant role in the immune system regulation by inhibiting cellular activation processes. This regulation occurs through its participation in receptor-ligand interactions that modulate the immune response. It is not part of a complex but its pair PILRB acts as an activating receptor providing a balanced modulation of immune signaling. The balance between PILRA and PILRB affects how immune cells respond to various signals.
- Pathways
PILRA is centrally involved in immune response pathways especially those controlling immune cell signaling. It interacts with proteins involved in immune system pathways such as LILRB1 which also mediates inhibitory signaling. PILRA functions in signaling pathways to regulate the activation and inhibition of immune responses maintaining immune system homeostasis.
- Associated diseases and disorders
PILRA associates with alterations in immune response mechanisms that can lead to autoimmune diseases and infections. Research links PILRA to diseases such as multiple sclerosis and certain viral infections. In these conditions PILRA's role in immune signaling modulation becomes important as it coordinates with proteins like PILRB to affect the immune system's response to different pathological conditions.
