abbr. NKL (gene symbol). A protein of 78 with three intrachain disulfide bonds isolated from pig small intestine. The amino acid sequence of NK-lysin exhibits 33 % identity with a putative human preproprotein, NKG5, of unknown function but derived from a cDNA clone obtained from activated NK-cells (Andersson et al, 1995). For an NK-lysin peptide from teleost fish see: NKLP27.
Chen et al (2015) have reported that the single copy of the NK-lysin gene in many mammals has expanded to create a gene family with four expressed members in cattle. These bovine proteins have been termed
