They regulate the killing function of these cells by interacting with Major histocompatibility complex MHC class I MHC class I molecules , which are expressed on all cell types. This interaction allows them to detect virus virally infected cells or tumor cell s that have a characteristic low level of Class I MHC on their surface. Most KIRs are inhibitory, meaning that their recognition of MHC suppresses the cytotoxic activity of their NK cell. Only a limited number of KIRs have the ability to activate cells. ref cite journal author Vilches C, Parham P title KIR diverse, rapidly evolving receptors of innate and adaptive immunity journal Annu Rev Immunol volume 20 issue pages 217 51 year 2002 pmid 11861603 doi 10.1146 annurev.immunol.20.092501.134942 ref KIR molecules are highly Polymorphism biology polymorphic , meaning their gene sequences differ greatly between individuals, so that different individuals possess different arrays repertoires of KIR genes. ref cite journal author Uhrberg M title The KIR gene family life in the fast lane of evolution journal Eur J Immunol volume 35 issue 1 pages 10 5 year 2005 pmid 15580655 doi 10.1002 eji.200425743 ref Genes two domains, long cytoplasmic tail KIR2DL1 , KIR2DL2 , KIR2DL3 , KIR2DL4 , KIR2DL5A , KIR2DL5B , two domains, short cytoplasmic tail KIR2DS1 , KIR2DS2 , KIR2DS3 , KIR2DS4 , KIR2DS5 three domains, long cytoplasmic tail KIR3DL1 , KIR3DL2 , KIR3DL3 three domains, short cytoplasmic tail KIR3DS1 See also Leukocyte immunoglobulin like receptors ...   more details
