Paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptor alpha

UniProtKB accession:  Q9UKJ1

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Paired receptors consist of highly related activating and inhibitory receptors and are widely involved in the regulation of the immune system. PILRA is thought to act as a cellular signaling inhibitory receptor by recruiting cytoplasmic phosphatases like PTPN6/SHP-1 and PTPN11/SHP-2 via their SH2 domains that block signal transduction through dephosphorylation of signaling molecules. Receptor for PIANP.
