Facts about Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 2.
Receptor for class I MHC antigens.
Recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C and HLA-G alleles.Involved in the down-regulation of the immune response and the development of tolerance. Recognizes HLA-G in complex with B2M/beta-2 microglobulin and a nonamer self-peptide (peptide-bound HLA-G-B2M) triggering differentiation of type 1 regulatory T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, both of which actively maintain maternal-fetal tolerance (PubMed:20448110, PubMed:27859042, PubMed:16455647).

Expressed in monocytes and at lower levels in myeloid and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. Expressed in tolerogenic IL10-producing dendritic cells (PubMed:20448110). Expressed in myeloid-derived suppressor cells during pregnancy (PubMed:27859042). Detected at low levels in natural killer (NK) cells. Expressed in B cells.
