Function
May act as receptor for class I MHC antigens. Becomes activated upon coligation of PIRB and immune receptors, such as FCGR2B and the B-cell receptor. Down-regulates antigen-induced B-cell activation by recruiting phosphatases to its immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motifs (ITIM).
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Detected in macrophages, splenocytes and B lymphocytes (at protein level). Detected in macrophages, mast cells, splenocytes, peritoneal cells and natural killer cells
