Gene Information

human ... PILRB(29990)

General description

The paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptor β (PILRβ) is a member of PILR family, involved in the regulation of innate immune response in a variety of species. The protein is encoded by a PILRβ gene with four exons and three introns spanning approximately 9.8 kb, and it is mapped to human chromosome 7. The encoded protein is highly expressed in natural killer (NK) cells, dendritic cells and macrophages. PILRβ is a monomeric transmembrane protein, characterized by a single V-set Ig-like (IgV) extracellular domain, short cytoplasmic tail and a charged lysine residue within its transmembrane domain. CD99-like molecule acts as a ligand for the activating PILRβ.

Application

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The paired immunoglobulin-like type 2 receptor β (PILRβ ) helps in transduction of activating signals by interacting with DAP-12 molecule containing tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). It is also involved in activation of various cell populations. PILRβ , upon ligand binding, induces signals to regulate host immune responses.

Features and Benefits

Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
  • IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
  • Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
