This receptor is about 50-70 kDa in mass and is expressed on the surface of natural killer (NK) cells macrophages and some T cells. CD16a facilitates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) by binding to the Fc region of immunoglobulin G (IgG). This interaction allows effector immune cells to recognize and destroy antibody-coated target cells.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nCD16a is important for immune responses and occurs as part of a receptor complex. It signals downstream effects through its association with the CD3 zeta chain and the Fc epsilon receptor gamma chain which possess immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs). Upon binding to IgG CD16a triggers a cascade of events leading to the release of cytokines and cytotoxic granules. This action helps in eliminating infected or cancerous cells demonstrating its role in both innate and adaptive immunity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nCD16a contributes significantly to the immunological synapse formation and NK cell activation pathway. This receptor cooperates with other proteins such as CD3 and CD19 to modulate the immune response. It also participates in signaling pathways like the PI3K-Akt pathway which regulates cell survival and proliferation. CD16a's interaction with these pathways highlights its importance in immune cell communication and function.\u003cbr\u003e\nCD16a is linked to autoimmune diseases and certain cancers. In autoimmune disorders like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) abnormal CD16a function can contribute to the pathogenesis by altering immune cell targeting. Additionally in cancers such as lymphoma CD16a's interaction with IgG-coated cancer cells can influence the efficacy of monoclonal antibody therapies. The receptor's association with proteins like CD3 and CD19 in these disease contexts highlights its potential as a therapeutic target.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46851758096553,"sku":"ab243936","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab243936","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
