LILRB3

Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 3 is also known as LILRB3,ILT-5 or CD85a. LILRB3 plays an role as receptor for class I MHC antigens, which activated upon coligation of LILRB3 and immune receptors, such as FCGR2B and the B-cell receptor. LILRB3 and LILRA6 represent a pair of inhibitory/activating receptors with identical extracellular domains and unknown ligands. LILRB3 can mediate inhibitory signaling via immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs in its cytoplasmic tail whereas LILRA6 can signal through association with an activating adaptor molecule, FcR¦Ã.
