Mouse NK cells express Ly-49 receptors specific for classical MHC class I molecules. Several of the Ly-49 receptors have been characterized in terms of function and ligand specificity. However, the only Ly-49 receptor-ligand interaction previously described in detail is that between Ly-49A and H-2D(d), as studied by point mutations in the ligand and the crystal structure of the co-complex of th...

The objective of this review is to consider the mechanisms by which vitamin D affects muscle and the evidence that vitamin D status is important for muscle performance and fall prevention in older adults. Vitamin D receptors have been identified in human skeletal-muscle cells. Activation of these receptors by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D is involved in the action of vitamin D on the myocyte. Several...
