Cytotoxic & Regulatory T Cell Molecule
From Anvita Health Wiki
Contents |
Function
- interaction with CADM1 promotes
- NK cell cytotoxicity & IFN-gamma secretion by CD8+ cells in vitro
- NK cell-mediated rejection of tumors expressing CADM3 in vivo
- interacts with CADM1
Structure
- belongs to the nectin family
- contains 1 Ig-like C2-type domain ( immunoglobulin-like)
- contains 1 Ig-like V-type domain ( immunoglobulin-like)
Compartment
- membrane
Alternative-splicing
- named isoforms=2
Expression
- in the immune system, expression is restricted to activated class-1 MHC-restricted cells, including NKT & CD8 cells
- strongly expressed in spleen, thymus, small intestine, peripheral blood leukocyte, & in Purkinje neurons in cerebellum
- expressed at much lower levels in testis, ovary, colon, lung & lymphoid tissues
