Background
NKG2C, also known as KLRC2 and CD159c, is an activating receptor of natural killer (NK) cells and plays a significant role in immune surveillance and host resistance against viruses and tumors (PMID: 36899273). It is an immune activating receptor involved in self-nonself discrimination. In complex with KLRD1 on cytotoxic lymphocyte subsets, recognizes non-classical major histocompatibility (MHC) class Ib HLA-E loaded with signal sequence-derived peptides from non-classical MHC class Ib HLA-G molecules, likely playing a role in the generation and effector functions of adaptive natural killer (NK) cells and in maternal-fetal tolerance during pregnancy (PMID: 30134159; 37264229; 9754572).
