Function

Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that mediate cytotoxicity and secrete cytokines after immune stimulation. Several genes of the C-type lectin superfamily, including the rodent NKRP1 family of glycoproteins, are expressed by NK cells and may be involved in the regulation of NK cell function. The KLRB1 protein contains an extracellular domain with several motifs characteristic of C-type lectins, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. The KLRB1 protein, NKR-P1A or CD161, is classified as a type II membrane protein because it has an external C terminus.[5] NKR-P1A, the receptor encoded by the KLRB1 gene, recognizes Lectin Like Transcript-1 (LLT1) as a functional ligand.

gollark: They eat electrons.
gollark: I think the gravity manipulation stuff in this obeys conservation of energy, so just use the really energy dense power source to explode.
gollark: How would that even work? Replacing the stomach with a stupidly high-powered force field somehow?
gollark: I'm alt-tabbing between this and scaling up solar in Factorio.
gollark: I have spare time *and* don't know what I'm doing.
