Cluster of Differentiation 244 is a human protein encoded by the CD244 gene. It is also known as Natural Killer Cell Receptor 2B4. Tangye et al.(1999) mapped the gene to 1q22. Suzuki et al.(2008) identified a functional single-nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) in the gene that contributes to rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility. Functional analysis by Boles et al.(1999) demonstrated that engagement of CD244 with specific antibody activates NK cytolytic activity. Using recombinant human NK cell-activating ligand CD244 fused to domains 3 and 4 of rodent Cd4 and flow cytometric analysis, Brown et al.(1998) demonstrated that CD48 binds to CD244. Watzl et al.(2000) showed that antibody-mediated cross-linking of the protein leads to its rapid tyrosine phosphorylation, which is necessary for CD244-mediated killer cell activity.
