Cd160 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables MHC class I protein complex binding activity. Involved in mucosal immune response; positive regulation of natural killer cell mediated immune response to tumor cell; and positive regulation of type II interferon production. Acts upstream of or within defense response to Gram-negative bacterium. Located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human CD160 (CD160 molecule). [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 Cd160 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
