The Mouse Monoclonal anti-KIR2DL3 antibody (Clone GL183) (ABIN118908) specifically detects KIR2DL3 in WB, FACS and IP.
The antibody is reactive with Human samples.
This antibody recognises the CD158b cell surface antigen. This antibody also recognises a 50 kDa molecule, which is highly homologous to p58.2 in the extracellular domain, but has a shorter cytoplasmic tail.

Background
CD158b is a 58kD glycoprotein expressed by a subset of NK cells (also known as p58.2 antigen). The antigen is a members of the newly described natural killer cell receptor family. CD158b functions as a receptor specific for HLA Class I molecules, including Cw3 and related HLA-C alleles. This antibody can restore the lysis by human NK clones of otherwise lysis protected targets expressing Cw3.Synonyms: KIRCL23, Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DL3, MHC class I NK cell receptor, NKAT2a, NKAT2b, Natural killer-associated transcript 2
