Eomes | Eomesodermin homolog; Functions as a transcriptional activator playing a crucial role during development. Functions in trophoblast differentiation and later in gastrulation, regulating both mesoderm delamination and endoderm specification. Plays a role in brain development being required for the specification and the proliferation of the intermediate progenitor cells and their progeny in the cerebral cortex. Also involved in the differentiation of CD8+ T-cells during immune response regulating the expression of lytic effector genes. (707 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.
