General annotation (Comments)

Function	Plays an inhibitory role on natural killer (NK) cells cytotoxicity. Activation results in specific acid sphingomyelinase/SMPD1 stimulation with subsequent marked elevation of intracellular ceramide. Activation also leads to AKT1/PKB and RPS6KA1/RSK1 kinases stimulation as well as markedly enhanced T-cell proliferation induced by anti-CD3. Acts as a lectin that binds to the terminal carbohydrate Gal-alpha(1,3)Gal epitope as well as to the N-acetyllactosamine epitope. Binds also to CLEC2D/LLT1 as a ligand and inhibits NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity as well as interferon-gamma secretion in target cells. Ref.1 Ref.7 Ref.8
Subunit structure	Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with acid sphingomyelinase/SMPD1. Ref.1 Ref.7 Ref.5 Ref.6
Subcellular location	Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein Potential.
Tissue specificity	Expressed in a subset of NK cells predominantly in intestinal epithelium and liver. Detected in peripheral blood T-cells and preferentially in adult T-cells with a memory antigenic phenotype. Ref.1 Ref.4
Induction	By IL12 in NK cells. Ref.3
Post-translational modification	N-glycosylated. Contains sialic acid residues. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Contains 1 C-type lectin domain.
