Activity summary

CD16 also known as FCGR3A or CD16A protein is a low-affinity receptor for the Fc region of IgG. It weighs approximately 50-70 kDa and exists on the surface of several immune cells such as natural killer (NK) cells some populations of T cells and macrophages. The expression of CD16 mediates various cellular responses including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) where it acts by engaging with immune complexes. Researchers often use anti-CD16 antibodies in flow cytometry to analyze the presence and quantity of CD16-expressing cells.

Biological function summary

This receptor plays a significant role in immune system regulation by contributing to the activation of immune effector cells. CD16 is not part of a larger complex but it operates in concert with CD3 proteins to trigger intracellular signaling pathways upon engagement with its ligand. Its function is important for the antibody-dependent clearance of infected or malignant cells from the body representing an essential linkage between innate and adaptive immunity.

Pathways

Signaling involving CD16 is integrated into the immune response mechanisms that include the Fc gamma receptor-mediated phagocytosis pathway. This pathway involves interactions with IgG antibodies and complements the activity of other Fc gamma receptors such as CD32 and CD64. Through these interactions CD16 enhances phagocytic activity and stimulates the secretion of cytokines and chemokines important for orchestrating an effective immune response.

Associated diseases and disorders

CD16 plays an important role in conditions like autoimmune diseases and certain cancers. Its expression and function are important in the pathophysiology of systemic lupus erythematosus where an imbalance in immune complex clearance leads to tissue damage. In oncology CD16 aids in the immune system's recognition and elimination of tumor cells working alongside proteins such as CD3 in modulating the body's anti-tumor response. Understanding CD16's involvement in these diseases helps in developing therapeutic strategies that harness the immune system's power such as monoclonal antibody therapies targeting CD16.
