Klrc3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity and stimulatory C-type lectin receptor signaling pathway. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including KLRC3 (killer cell lectin like receptor C3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Klrc3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
