CD94 is a 27-31kD glycoprotein member of the C-type lectin superfamily.
It is expressed on NK cells, particularly those that are CD56bright, plus those that are CD56dim but secrete material amounts of IFN-G.
CD94 forms covalent transmembrane (TM) heterodimers with NKG2A, B, C, E and H, and binds HLA-E (in human; Qa-1b in mouse) as part of a cellular homeostatic monitoring system.
Amide-linkage based complexes with NKG2A are predicted to run at 70-80kD in SDS-PAGE.
Depending upon the exact NKG2 partner, CD94 ligation can result in either NK cell activation (2C, 2H or 2E) or inhibition (2A or 2B).
Human CD94 is a 179aa type II TM protein.
It possesses a short cytoplasmic segment aa1-10 plus a 158aa extracellular region aa32-179 that contains one C-type lectin domain aa61-176.
Multiple splice variants exist.
One is a 149aa, 19kD cytosolic protein that shows an Ala substitution for aa3-34, while a second is a truncated, 104aa, 17kD TM protein.
A third isoform is 158aa in length and 25kD in size, and shows a deletion of aa34-54.
Over aa32-179, human CD94 shares 53% aa identity with mouse CD94.
