Abstract:
The co-stimulatory adhesion molecule DNAX accessory molecule 1 (DNAM-1) is a functional glycoprotein expressed on immune cells, such as natural killer and T-cells. It is activated upon interaction with its biological ligands, the poliovirus receptor and nectin-2. Signaling cascades involving stimulation of DNAM-1 lead to various biological responses, including target cell lysis and immune cell activation. Thus, DNAM-1 appears to be an integral molecule in immune responses in cancer, allergic inflammatory disorders and autoimmune diseases. The structure of DNAM-1, its mechanism of action and its effects in pathological scenarios are discussed.
