NKTR
NK-tumor recognition protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NKTR gene.[1][2][3]
This gene encodes a membrane-anchored protein with a hydrophobic amino terminal domain and a cyclophilin-like PPIase domain. It is present on the surface of natural killer cells and facilitates their binding to targets. Its expression is regulated by IL2 activation of the cells.[3]
