Domain

Contains 3 copies of a cytoplasmic motif that is referred to as the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM). This motif is involved in modulation of cellular responses. The phosphorylated ITIM motif can bind the SH2 domain of several SH2-containing phosphatases, including PTPN6/SHP-1, resulting in the dephosphorylation of the downstream protein kinases SYK and BTK.

Function

May act as receptor for class I MHC antigens. Becomes activated upon coligation of LILRB3 and immune receptors, such as FCGR2B and the B-cell receptor. Down-regulates antigen-induced B-cell activation by recruiting phosphatases to its immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motifs (ITIM).

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylated on tyrosine residues by LYN. Phosphorylation at Tyr-794 and Tyr-824 is important for interaction with PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2.

Tissue specificity

Detected in macrophages, splenocytes and B lymphocytes (at protein level). Detected in macrophages, mast cells, splenocytes, peritoneal cells and natural killer cells.

Cellular localization

  • Cell membrane
  • Single-pass type I membrane protein
