Protein name Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily B member 1 (C-type lectin domain family 5 member B) (HNKR-P1a) (NKR-P1A) (Natural killer cell surface protein P1A) (CD antigen CD161)
Protein function Plays an inhibitory role on natural killer (NK) cells cytotoxicity. Activation results in specific acid sphingomyelinase/SMPD1 stimulation with subsequent marked elevation of intracellular ceramide. Activation also leads to AKT1/PKB and RPS6KA1/
