Batf3 | Basic leucine zipper transcriptional factor ATF-like 3; AP-1 family transcription factor that controls the differentiation of CD8(+) thymic conventional dendritic cells in the immune system. Acts via the formation of a heterodimer with JUN family proteins that recognizes and binds DNA sequence 5'-TGA[CG]TCA-3' and regulates expression of target genes. Required for development of CD8- alpha(+) classical dendritic cells (cDCs) and related CD103(+) dendritic cells that cross-present antigens to CD8 T-cells and produce interleukin-12 (IL12) in response to pathogens. Belongs to the bZIP family. (118 aa) | ||||
Klre1 | Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily E member 1; Lectin-like receptor for natural killer (NK) cells. Can either inhibit or activate NK cell cytotoxic activity, depending on its binding partner. Heterodimer formation with KLRI1 mediates NK cell inhibition whereas heterodimer formation with KLRI2 mediates NK cell activation. Plays a role in allogeneic recognition by the immune system.
