The KLRK1 gene is located on chromosome 12p13.2 and encodes a type II transmembrane protein characterized by an extracellular C terminus and a C-type lectin domain . This protein is known for its ability to bind to a diverse family of ligands, including MHC class I chain-related proteins and UL-16 binding proteins .
KLRK1 is primarily expressed on NK cells, CD8-positive T cells, and some gamma/delta T cells . It functions as an activating receptor that triggers cytolytic responses against tumor cells and virus-infected cells . The interaction between KLRK1 and its ligands leads to the activation of NK and T cells, promoting the immune response against stressed cells .
The surface expression of KLRK1 ligands is crucial for the recognition of stressed cells by the immune system. This makes KLRK1 and its ligands potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of immune diseases and cancers . Research has shown that the activation of KLRK1 can enhance antitumor responses, making it a promising candidate for cancer immunotherapy .
