Abstract:
CD94/NKG2A is a kind of inhibitory receptor belonging to C-type lectin superfamily. It specifically expresses on the surface of some lymphocytes such as NK cells and T cells, and mediates inhibitory signal. In this mini-review, the structure of CD94/NKG2A molecule is described and its biological significance is discussed.
