Ulbp1 - UL16 binding protein 1

Predicted to enable natural killer cell lectin-like receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in natural killer cell activation and natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of immune response; positive regulation of interferon-gamma production; and positive regulation of leukocyte activation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and external side of plasma membrane. Predicted to be anchored component of plasma membrane and integral component of plasma membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including RAET1E (retinoic acid early transcript 1E). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
