Biological function summary
CD48 serves as a co-stimulatory molecule involved in immune response modulation. It interacts with 2B4 (CD244) a member of the signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM) family to form a receptor-ligand complex. This interaction can result in enhanced T cell and NK cell responses. CD48's presence on activated hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells highlights its role in cell-to-cell communication.
Pathways
CD48 participates in SLAM family receptor signaling and natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity. In the SLAM pathway CD48 enhances communication and regulation between T cells and NK cells. This communication also relates to the roles of CD244 linking it to downstream signaling pathways that influence immune cell function. These pathways illustrate the critical network CD48 is part of which impacts various immune responses.

General info
Function
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface glycoprotein that interacts via its N-terminal immunoglobulin domain with cell surface receptors including CD244/2B4 or CD2 to regulate immune cell function and activation (PubMed : 12007789, PubMed : 19494291, PubMed : 27249817, PubMed : 9841922). Participates in T-cell signaling transduction by associating with CD2 and efficiently bringing the Src family protein kinase LCK and LAT to the TCR/CD3 complex (PubMed : 19494291). In turn, promotes LCK phosphorylation and subsequent activation (PubMed : 12007789). Induces the phosphorylation of the cytoplasmic immunoreceptortyrosine switch motifs (ITSMs) of CD244 initiating a series of signaling events that leads to the generation of the immunological synapse and the directed release of cytolytic granules containing perforin and granzymes by T-lymphocytes and NK-cells (PubMed : 27249817).
