Basic Information | |
Specificity | This antibody recognizes mouse NKG2D, a lectin-like molecule expressed on both human and mouse NK cells. Mouse NKG2D binds to retinoic acid-inducible RAE-1 alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon and the minor histocompatibility molecule H60 and has the ability to costimulate multiple NK activation receptors, through the DAP12/DAP10 adaptor molecules. NKG2D is expressed by all spleen and liver NK cells, NK1.1 thymocytes, in vitro activated LAK cells, and a subset of splenic NKT cells. |
Alternative Name | CD314; KLRK1; NKG2-D type II integral membrane protein; Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily K member 1; NK cell receptor D; NKG2-D-activating NK receptor; CX5 |
UniProt | O54709 |
Immunogen | The original rat IgG1 version of this antibody was raised by immunizing rats against mouse KLRK1. |
Application Notes | It has been shown that CX5 is a non-depleting antibody, which blocks binding of NKG2D to its ligands and mediates internalization of the receptor. This antibody has been widely used to block NKG2D (Wang et al., 2018; pmid: 29447423; Yang et al., 2017; pmid: 28455530) as well as to detect NKG2D-posotive cells via flow cytometry (Hosomi et al., 2017; pmid: 28747426). |
