CD300LF
protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
CMRF35-like molecule 1, also known as CD300lf, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CD300LF gene. CD300lf belongs to the protein family of CD300. CD300lf is a membrane glycoprotein that contains an immunoglobulin domain and is expressed by myeloid and mast cells of humans and other mammals. The protein functions in immunoregulation but might also have a role in norovirus infections.
CD300lf and noroviruses
CD300lf has been shown to function as the primary receptor for murine norovirus in mice, Human norovirus does not use the same receptor in viral entry. Human and murine CD300lf proteins have about 59% identity in their immunoglobulin domains, with most of that variation occurring in parts of the protein called CDR3 and the CC'loop. Murine norovirus binds to a cleft between these domains. The differences between murine and human CD300lf contribute to murine norovirus host species restriction, as incorporating murine CD300lf into human cells makes them susceptible to infection by the murine virus.

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “CD300LF” as protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the science & nature register because the source frames it as protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q18051473. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
