Summary
This gene encodes an immunoglobulin-like cell surface protein that is expressed predominantly on plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) and modulates the function of these cells in the immune response. Expression of this gene is downregulated by interleukin 3 (IL3). This gene is one of a cluster of highly related genes located at chromosomal region 19q13.4. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
Expression
Biased expression in spleen (RPKM 5.0), lymph node (RPKM 4.4) and 6 other tissues See more

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. Crosslinked ILT7 favours the differentiation of immature plasmacytoid dendritic cells into antigen-presenting cells rather than IPC.
    Title: Effect of immunoglobin-like transcript 7 cross-linking on plasmacytoid dendritic cells differentiation into antigen-presenting cells.
  2. ILT7 may exert its immunomodulatory activity only on immature circulating plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), providing a basic homeostatic mechanism rather than negative feedback control on activated pDCs.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
