Natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCR1 gene. [5] [6] NCR1 has also been designated as CD335 (cluster of differentiation, NKP46, NKp46, NK-p46, and LY94. [7]
CD155 also known as the poliovirus receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PVR gene.
Killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), are a family of type I transmembrane glycoproteins expressed on the plasma membrane of natural killer (NK) cells and a minority of T cells. At least 15 genes and 2 pseudogenes encoding KIR map in a 150-kb region of the leukocyte receptor complex (LRC) on human chromosome 19q13.4.
TYRO protein tyrosine kinase-binding protein is an adapter protein that in humans is encoded by the TYROBP gene.
CD244 is a human protein encoded by the CD244 gene. It is also known as Natural Killer Cell Receptor 2B4

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIR2DL1 gene.
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIR2DL4 gene.
Natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCR3 gene. NCR3 has also been designated as CD337 and as NKp30. NCR3 belongs to the family of NCR membrane receptors together with NCR1 (NKp46) and NCR2 (NKp44).
NKG2-F type II integral membrane protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLRC4 gene.
Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 3DL2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIR3DL2 gene.

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DS4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIR2DS4 gene.
Natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCR2 gene. NCR2 has also been designated as CD336, NKp44, NKP44; NK-p44, LY95, and dJ149M18.1.
Hematopoietic cell signal transducer is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HCST gene.
Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LILRB3 gene.
CD160 antigen is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD160 gene.
NK-tumor recognition protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NKTR gene.
Killer Activation Receptors (KARs) are receptors expressed on the plasmatic membrane of Natural Killer cells. KARs work together with inhibitory receptors, which inactivate them in order to regulate the NK cells functions on hosted or transformed cells. These two kinds of specific receptors have some morphological features in common, such as being transmembrane proteins. The similarities are specially found in the extracellular domains and, the differences tend to be in the intracellular domains. KARs and KIRs can have tyrosine containing activatory or inhibitory motifs in the intracellular part of the receptor molecule.
