KLRG1 (killer cell lectin-like receptor G1), also called MAFA (mast cell function associated), is a 30-38 kDa type II transmembrane inhibitory glycoprotein of the C‑type lectin family, designated CLEC15A. KLRG1 cDNA encodes 195 amino acids (aa) including an intracellular ITIM motif and a 136 aa extracellular domain (ECD) with a single C‑type lectin domain. The human KLRG1 ECD shares 57% and 54% aa identity with mouse and rat KLRG1, respectively. A 189 aa isoform diverges at aa 186. KLRG1 binds E-, N- and R-cadherins and functions as an MHC‑independent means of identifying non-self pathogens and epithelial tumor cells with low E‑cadherin expression. It is expressed as a monomer or disulfide‑linked homodimer on NK and T cell subsets such as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes.
