Background: LILRB5/CD85c/LIR-8
Human LIR-8 (leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor 8; also CD85c and LILRB5) is a 567 amino acid (aa) member of the LIR family of receptors. It is a type I transmembrane protein that is expressed on NK cells. LIR-8 has a 435 aa extracellular domain with four C2-type Ig-like domains (aa 24‑458), and a 111 aa cytoplasmic tail that contains two ITIM motifs. Phosphorylation of Tyr in an ITIM motif recruits SHP-1, which is subsequently activated and impacts related signaling pathways. The ligand for, and function of, LIR-8 are unreported. LIR-8 has two potential splice forms. One shows a 53 aa cytoplasmic insert between Arg542 and Ala543. The second shows a deletion of 100 aa between Gly119 and Gly219 that impacts the second C2-type Ig-like domain. There is no rodent ortholog.
