*

Activating signals of ITIM-Rs are given in parentheses.

Includes SHP-1 and SHP-2. Preferential association with SHP-1 or SHP-2 occurs with some ITIMs.

Receptor family, which includes activating and inhibitory receptors.

§

Some T cells, primarily those in the memory subset and IL-15-activated intra-epithelial lymphocytes, express NK cell receptors.
