Target data

Function

Cell surface receptor that plays an important role in the immune system, particularly in intercellular adhesion, lymphocyte signaling, cytotoxicity and lymphokine secretion mediated by cytotoxic T-cells and NK cells (PubMed:8673704, PubMed:9712030). Functions as a costimulatory receptor upon recognition of target cells, such as virus-infected or tumor cells. Upon binding to its ligands PVR/CD155 or NECTIN2/CD112 on target cells, promotes the cytotoxic activity of NK cells and CTLs, enhancing their ability to kill these cells (PubMed:26755705, PubMed:31253644, PubMed:30591568). Mechanistically, phosphorylation by Src kinases such as LYN of FYN, enables binding to adapter GRB2, leading to activation of VAV1, PI3K and PLCG1. Promotes also activation of kinases ERK and AKT, as well as calcium fluxes (By similarity).

Activity summary

CD226 also known as DNAM-1 (DNAX Accessory Molecule-1) is a transmembrane protein expressed on the surface of various immune cells such as T cells natural killer (NK) cells and some B cells. The protein has a molecular weight of approximately 65 kDa. CD226 is part of the Ig superfamily and plays a role in the adhesion and signaling processes of immune cells. It interacts with its ligands CD112 (PVRL2) and CD155 (PVR) on target cells facilitating immune synapse formation and cytotoxic activity.

Biological function summary

CD226 is involved in immune cell activation and receptor-mediated signaling. It aids the recognition and destruction of target cells by NK cells and cytotoxic T lymphocytes through its interaction with ligand-expressing cells. CD226 does not work alone but functions as part of a complex system of co-stimulatory and inhibitory receptors balancing immune responses. Its cooperation with receptors such as CD96 and TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains) modulates the activity of immune effector cells.

Pathways

CD226 takes part in immune signaling pathways that regulate cell-mediated cytotoxicity and inflammation. It is an important component of the immune checkpoint axis interacting closely with proteins like CD96 and TIGIT within these pathways. This interaction helps determine the fate of immune responses influencing the progression or resolution of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. CD226 plays a role in the NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity pathway and the adaptive immune response.

Associated diseases and disorders

CD226 has been linked to autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes. Abnormal expression or function of CD226 can influence the pathogenesis of these conditions often through interactions with related proteins like TIGIT impacting immune tolerance and effector cell function. CD226's involvement in regulating immune responses highlights its importance as a potential therapeutic target in managing autoimmune and other immune-related disorders.
