Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including MHC class I protein binding activity; MHC class Ib receptor activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of apoptotic process; positive regulation of myeloid dendritic cell activation; and positive regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity directed against tumor cell target. Located in cell surface. Used to study histiocytoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in tropical spastic paraparesis. Orthologous to several human genes including KLRK1 (killer cell lectin like receptor K1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

Blockade of NKG2D significantly attenuated ischemia-reperfusion injury in a cardiac transplantation model.
Title: NKG2D blockade significantly attenuates ischemia-reperfusion injury in a cardiac transplantation model.
Natural killer (NK) cell-activating receptor NKG2D is important for NK-mediated killing of hepatoma McA tumor cells; NK cell cytotoxicity against McA-RH7777 is mediated by both NKp30 and NKG2D.
Title: Distinct roles for the NK cell-activating receptors in mediating interactions with dendritic cells and tumor cells.
the splice forms of NKG2D arise from alternative promoters and that the NKG2D-L promoter is derived from a B1 retrotransposon.
Title: Creation of the two isoforms of rodent NKG2D was driven by a B1 retrotransposon insertion.
In vitro cytotoxic assays reveal that a subset of rat monocytes/macrophages expressing both CD4 and CD8 antigens can kill certain tumor cells in a cell-cell contact-dependent manner through recognition of NKG2D ligands.
Title: Rat CD4+CD8+ macrophages kill tumor cells through an NKG2D- and granzyme/perforin-dependent mechanism.
A novel role of Irp94 as a ligand for NKR-P2 on DCs, which in turn executes both innate and adaptive immunity, was demonstrated.
Title: The ischemia-responsive protein 94 (Irp94) activates dendritic cells through NK cell receptor protein-2/NK group 2 member D (NKR-P2/NKG2D) leading to their maturation.
We have reported the involvement of NKR-P2 in rat dendritic cell (DC) activation. We demonstrate the potential of agonistic anti-NKR-P2 mAb (1A6), which mimics the NKR-P2 ligand and induces activation and maturation of DCs.
Title: Cross-linking a mAb to NKR-P2/NKG2D on dendritic cells induces their activation and maturation leading to enhanced anti-tumor immune response.
NKG2D acts as a natural cytotoxicity receptor to stimulate perforin-mediated elimination of ligand-expressing tumor cells.
Title: Cutting edge: tumor rejection mediated by NKG2D receptor-ligand interaction is dependent upon perforin.
NKG2D is required for cytolysis of tumor cells, including autologous tumor cells from patients with ovarian cancer, and in vivo antitumor activity
Title: Silencing human NKG2D, DAP10, and DAP12 reduces cytotoxicity of activated CD8+ T cells and NK cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
