NCR3LG1

Domain

The C-terminal part is similar to retroviral Gag protein. This putative protein seems to be the result of a fusion between an Ig-like domain-containing protein and a ERV.

Function

Triggers NCR3-dependent natural killer cell activation.

Tissue specificity

Not detected in any normal tissue tested. Expressed at the surface of several tumor cell lines including T and B-lymphomas, myeloid leukemias, melanomas, carcinomas and large T SV40 antigen-transformed cells (at protein level).
