Biological function summary

ICAM-3 contributes to the immune system’s functionality by mediating intercellular adhesion and cellular signaling. It acts as a ligand for the integrin LFA-1 found on leukocytes which facilitates the initial immune response. ICAM-3 is not a part of a larger complex but works closely with LFA-1 in homing and recruitment of immune cells to inflammation sites. Its interaction with LFA-1 also supports the formation of the immunological synapse an important step in T-cell activation and immune signaling.

Pathways

ICAM-3 contributes to both the immune response and leukocyte extravasation pathways. The interaction with LFA-1 places it within the context of immune cell signaling pathways impacting integrin-mediated signaling. Another pathway involving ICAM-3 is the cell adhesion pathway which is essential for maintaining proper immune surveillance and response. It collaborates with proteins like ICAM-1 in these pathways to ensure effective immune activity.
