| UniProt functional annotation for P15151 | |||
| UniProt code: P15151. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Mediates NK cell adhesion and triggers NK cell effector functions. Binds two different NK cell receptors: CD96 and CD226. These interactions accumulates at the cell-cell contact site, leading to the formation of a mature immunological synapse between NK cell and target cell. This may trigger adhesion and secretion of lytic granules and IFN-gamma and activate cytotoxicity of activated NK cells. May also promote NK cell-target cell modular exchange, and PVR transfer to the NK cell. This transfer is more important in some tumor cells expressing a lot of PVR, and may trigger fratricide NK cell activation, providing tumors with a mechanism of immunoevasion. Plays a role in mediating tumor cell invasion and migration. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15471548, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15607800}. | |
| Function: | (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for poliovirus. May play a role in axonal transport of poliovirus, by targeting virion-PVR- containing endocytic vesicles to the microtubular network through interaction with DYNLT1. This interaction would drive the virus- containing vesicle to the axonal retrograde transport. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2538245}. | |
| Function: | (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Pseudorabies virus. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9616127}. | |
| Function: | (Microbial infection) Is prevented to reach cell surface upon infection by Human cytomegalovirus /HHV-5, presumably to escape immune recognition of infected cell by NK cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15640804}. | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=72 nM for VTN; | |
| Subunit: | Can form trans-heterodimers with NECTIN3. The extracellular domain interacts with VTN, CD226 and CD96. The cytoplasmic domain interacts with DYNLT1. Binds with high affinity to TIGIT. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11437656, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11751937, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12759359, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15034010, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15039383, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15194795, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16216929, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19011627, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22421438}. | |
| Subunit: | (Microbial infection) Interacts with poliovirus capsid proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2538245}. | |
| Subunit: | (Microbial infection) Interacts with human cytomegalovirus /HHV-5 UL141 protein. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15640804}. | |
| Subunit: | (Microbial infection) Interacts with pseudorabies virus gD protein. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9616127}. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform Alpha]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform Delta]: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform Beta]: Secreted. | |
| Subcellular location: | [Isoform Gamma]: Secreted. | |
| Induction: | Transcriptionally regulated by SHH. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11983699}. | |
| Domain: | Contains 1 copy of a cytoplasmic motif that is referred to as the immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitor motif (ITIM). The phosphorylated ITIM motif can bind the SH2 domain of several SH2- containing phosphatases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1851992}. | |
| Ptm: | N-glycosylated. N-glycan at Asn-120: Hex5HexNAc4. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16335952, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19159218, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22171320}. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated by Src kinases on tyrosine residues in the ITIM motif upon ligation. Interaction with TIGIT is required for Phosphorylation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15194502, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22421438}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | The V-type domain is necessary and sufficient for virus binding and uptake. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the nectin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
