The KLRG1 Polyclonal Antibody (PACO39298) is a valuable tool for researchers studying KLRG1, a cell surface receptor involved in regulating immune responses. This antibody, produced in rabbits, is highly specific for human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the KLRG1 protein, this antibody enables the detection and analysis of KLRG1 in various cell types, making it well-suited for studies in immunology and cancer research.
KLRG1, also known as killer cell lectin-like receptor G1, plays a critical role in the immune system by modulating the activity of immune cells. Its involvement in immune regulation makes it a promising target for research into diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions. Understanding the function of KLRG1 is essential for developing novel therapies that target or manipulate immune responses in these pathological contexts.

Background:
Plays an inhibitory role on natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell functions upon binding to their non-MHC ligands. May mediate missing self recognition by binding to a highly conserved site on classical cadherins, enabling it to monitor expression of E-cadherin/CDH1, N-cadherin/CDH2 and R-cadherin/CDH4 on target cells.
Synonyms:

NCBI Summary:
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that can mediate lysis of certain tumor cells and virus-infected cells without previous activation. They can also regulate specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the killer cell lectin-like receptor (KLR) family, which is a group of transmembrane proteins preferentially expressed in NK cells. Studies in mice suggested that the expression of this gene may be regulated by MHC class I molecules. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been reported, but their full-length natures have not yet been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
