The Ly49 family of class I MHC receptors have critical role for adaptive natural killer cell responses.

Clearance of lung cancer is facilitated by up-regulation of NKG2D, NKp46, and other activating receptors upon exposure to environmental MHCI. Surface expression of the inhibitory receptor Ly49C/I, on the other hand, is down-regulated upon exposure to tumor-bearing tissue.
Title: Modulation of NKG2D, NKp46, and Ly49C/I facilitates natural killer cell-mediated control of lung cancer.
This docking mode was conserved with that previously observed for Ly49C.H-2K(b) Indeed, structure-guided mutation of Ly49C indicated that Ly49C.H2-Q10 and Ly49C.H-2K(b) possess similar energetic footprints focused around residues located within the Ly49C beta4-stand and L5 loop, which contact the underside of the peptide-binding platform floor.

This study showed that mPer2 is a critical clock component in modulating circadian rhythms in bone marrow, and it implies that Ly49C and Nkg2d may play an important role in mediating mPer2-controlled cytotoxic response.

signaling through the mouse NK inhibitory receptor Ly49C requires the presence of H-2Kb and this signaling is prevented when H-2Kb is ablated by pulsing with a peptide that can bind to it with high affinity

The repertoire of inhibitory Ly49 receptors may be formed under the influenced of Fyn-dependent NK cell activation as well as the respective MHC class I environment.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
