Summary
KLRG1 (killer cell lectin like receptor G1, HGNC:6380) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12p13.31, encoding Killer cell lectin-like receptor subfamily G member 1 (Q96E93). Plays an inhibitory role on natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell functions upon binding to their non-MHC ligands.
Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that can mediate lysis of certain tumor cells and virus-infected cells without previous activation. They can also regulate specific humoral and cell-mediated immunity. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the killer cell lectin-like receptor (KLR) family, which is a group of transmembrane proteins preferentially expressed in NK cells. Studies in mice suggested that the expression of this gene may be regulated by MHC class I molecules.

- study demonstrates that E-cadherin represents a ligand for KLRG1 and that ligation of KLRG1 by E-cadherin inhibited effector cell functions of polyclonal NK cells (PMID:17617594)
- Certain aspects of the dysfunction seen in highly differentiated CD8+ T cells are maintained actively by KLRG1 signaling. KLRG1 blockade enhances Akt (ser(473)) phosphorylation & T-cell-receptor-induced proliferation of CD8+CD28-CD27- T cells. (PMID:19406987)
- E-cadherin may coengage KLRG1 and alpha(E)beta(7) and that KLRG1 overcomes its exceptionally weak affinity for cadherins through multipoint attachment to target cells, resulting in inhibitory signaling. (PMID:19604491)
- Expression of MafA analyzed in conditional knockout mice during embryonic development is the first specific marker of a subpopulation of “early c-ret” positive sensory neurons. (PMID:20213756)
- Results demonstrated a substantial reduction in both CD94- and KLRG1- expressing CD3(-)CD56(+) NK cells with increased age. (PMID:20394788)

- cytomegalovirus positive had lower proportions of NK-cells expressing inhibitory receptors (KLRG1 and CD158a) (PMID:21933704)
- The lower inhibitory capacity of mKLRG1 compared with hKLRG1 can thus be rationalized by a decreased proportion of dimeric entities, which can be pinpointed to a single amino acid. (PMID:22684915)
- More T cells were KLRG1+ in the synovial fluid of patients with spondylarthritis/rheumatoid arthritis than crystal arthritis or controls. Those T cells were more functionally active, and migrated towards the synovial fluid of SpA/RA patients. (PMID:23740233)
- These results indicate that KLRG1 negatively regulates natural killer cell numbers and functions via the Akt pathway, thus providing a novel marker and therapeutic target for hepatitis C virus infection. (PMID:23966413)
- Data indicate that increments of CD8 + effector memory T cells in human and mouse chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)(Emu-TCL1 model) were due to an expansion of the inhibitory killer cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) expressing cellular subset. (PMID:24022692)
- KLRG1 was overexpressed on CD4(+) T cells. (PMID:24337749)

- Demonstrate the presence of increased KLRG1-expressing T-cells in tuberculosis-treated individuals, and present KLRG1 as a marker of decreased human T-cell proliferation following BCG-vaccination. (PMID:26750180)
- The results suggest that a disease-associated SNP located within the 3’UTR of KLRG1 directly interferes with miR-584-5p binding, allowing for KLRG1 mRNA differential accumulation, which in turn may contribute to pathogenesis of pemphigus. (PMID:27424220)

- high coexpression of PD-1, TIGIT, and KLRG-1 on MiHA-reactive CD8(+) T cells was associated with relapse after allo-SCT. Taken together, these findings indicate that MiHA-specific CD8(+) T cells of relapsed patients have a distinctive coinhibitory expression signature compared with patients who stay in remission. (PMID:29197680)
- This study delineated the profile of KLRG1+CD4+ T cells in patients with tuberculosis and suggests that M. tuberculosis infection drives CD4+ T cells to acquire increased effector function in a terminally differentiated state. (PMID:29373700)

Function. Plays an inhibitory role on natural killer (NK) cells and T-cell functions upon binding to their non-MHC ligands. May mediate missing self recognition by binding to a highly conserved site on classical cadherins, enabling it to monitor expression of E-cadherin/CDH1, N-cadherin/CDH2 and R-cadherin/CDH4 on target cells.
Subunit / interactions. Forms a monomer and homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts (via ITIM motif) with PTPN11 and INPP5D.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed specifically on natural killer (NK) cells and T-cells, mainly CD8 T-cells.
Domain organisation. Contains 1 copy of a cytoplasmic motif that is referred to as the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM). This motif is involved in modulation of cellular responses. Upon phosphorylation of ITIM motif KLRG1 associates with the two phosphatases PTPN11 and INPP5D.
Induction. By pathogens and viruses infections.
