The human natural killer gene complex (NKC) encodes for numerous C-type lectin-like receptors (CTLR), which are expressed on various immune cells including natural killer (NK) cells and myeloid cells. Certain activation-induced, NKC-encoded CTLR are grouped into the C-type lectin domain family 2 (CLEC2 family) which, in humans, comprises AICL (CLEC2B), CD69 (CLEC2C), and LLT1 (CLEC2D). In this paper, we characterize a novel member of the CLEC2 family, the human orphan gene CLEC2A.
