background:
B7H6 belongs to the B7 family (see MIM 605402) and is selectively expressed on tumor cells. Interaction of B7H6 with NKp30 (NCR3; MIM 611550) results in natural killer (NK) cell activation and cytotoxicity (Brandt et al., 2009 [PubMed 19528259]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 2011].
Function:
Triggers NCR3-dependent natural killer cell activation.
Subunit:
Monomer. Interacts specifically with NCR3, but not with other natural killer cell-activating receptors, including NCR1, NCR2 and KLRK1.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity:
Not detected in any normal tissue tested. Expressed at the surface of several tumor cell lines including T and B lymphomas, myeloid leukemias, melanomas, carcinomas and large T SV40 antigen-transformed cells (at protein level).
Similarity:
Contains 1 Ig-like C1-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
Contains 1 Ig-like SLVtype (immunoglobulin-like) domain.
