Biological function summary
This receptor plays a significant role in immune system regulation by contributing to the activation of immune effector cells. CD16 is not part of a larger complex but it operates in concert with CD3 proteins to trigger intracellular signaling pathways upon engagement with its ligand. Its function is important for the antibody-dependent clearance of infected or malignant cells from the body representing an essential linkage between innate and adaptive immunity.
Pathways
Signaling involving CD16 is integrated into the immune response mechanisms that include the Fc gamma receptor-mediated phagocytosis pathway. This pathway involves interactions with IgG antibodies and complements the activity of other Fc gamma receptors such as CD32 and CD64. Through these interactions CD16 enhances phagocytic activity and stimulates the secretion of cytokines and chemokines important for orchestrating an effective immune response.
