Anti-LILRB1 Antibody

LILRB1 (Leukocyte Immunoglobulin Like Receptor B1) is a Protein Coding gene. The encoded protein belongs to the subfamily B class of LIR receptors which contain two or four extracellular immunoglobulin domains, a transmembrane domain, and two to four cytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). LILRB1 is encoded within the leukocyte receptor complex on 19q13.4, previously implicated to be a susceptibility region to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). LILRB1 binds to a wide range of Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I molecules (MHCIs) and transduces negative signals that can, for example, prevent the killing of MHCI-expressing cells. LILRB1 transcription is correlated with surface protein expression on NK cells. Diseases associated with LILRB1 include Alzheimer's Disease 12 and Severe Pre-Eclampsia.
