CD335, also known as NKp46 or NCR1, is a member of the natural cytotoxicity receptor family, which includes NKp30 and NKp44. This type I transmembrane glycoprotein is expressed on NK cells and plays a crucial role in activating and expanding resting NK cells through interactions with dendritic cells. CD335 enhances the ability of NK cells to eliminate tumor and virus-infected cells, such as those infected by influenza. CD335 consists of two Ig-like domains and is related to leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptors (LIR) and killer inhibitory receptors (KIR). It contributes to the increased efficiency of activated NK cells in mediating tumor cell lysis. Additionally, CD335 interacts with pancreatic beta cells during the development of type 1 diabetes, highlighting its involvement in both immune defense and autoimmune processes.
