MeSH definition : Structurally-related receptors that are typically found on NATURAL KILLER CELLS. They
are considered lectin-like proteins in that they share sequence homology with the
carbohydrate binding domains of C-TYPE LECTINS. They differ from classical C-type
lectins, however, in that they appear to lack CALCIUM-binding domains.;
MeSH synonym : killer cell lectin like receptors; natural killer cell Lectin-Like receptors; NK cell lectin like receptors; receptors, killer cell Lectin-Like; natural killer cell lectin like receptors; killer cell Lectin-Like receptors; NK cell Lectin-Like receptors; receptors, NK cell lectin like;
