MILR1
Function
Immunoglobulin-like receptor which plays an inhibitory role in degranulation of mast cells. Negatively regulates IgE-mediated mast cell activation and suppresses the type I immediate hypersensitivity reaction (By similarity).
Post-translational modifications
N-glycosylated.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in myeloid cells (dendritic cells, macrophages and neutrophils, weak expression on B-cells but not in T-cells or natural killer cells), peripheral blood basophils and mast cells (at protein level).
Cellular localization
- Cell membrane
- Single-pass type I membrane protein
