Summary
CD160 (CD160 molecule, HGNC:17013) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q21.1, encoding CD160 antigen (O95971). Receptor on immune cells capable to deliver stimulatory or inhibitory signals that regulate cell activation and differentiation.
CD160 is an 27 kDa glycoprotein which was initially identified with the monoclonal antibody BY55. Its expression is tightly associated with peripheral blood NK cells and CD8 T lymphocytes with cytolytic effector activity. The cDNA sequence of CD160 predicts a cysteine-rich, glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein of 181 amino acids with a single Ig-like domain weakly homologous to KIR2DL4 molecule. CD160 is expressed at the cell surface as a tightly disulfide-linked multimer. RNA blot analysis revealed CD160 mRNAs of 1.5 and 1.6 kb whose expression was highly restricted to circulating NK and T cells, spleen and small intestine. Within NK cells CD160 is expressed by CD56dimCD16+ cells whereas among circulating T cells its expression is mainly restricted to TCRgd bearing cells and to TCRab+CD8brightCD95+CD56+CD28-CD27-cells. In tissues, CD160 is expressed on all intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes. CD160 shows a broad specificity for binding to both classical and nonclassical MHC class I molecules.

Function. Receptor on immune cells capable to deliver stimulatory or inhibitory signals that regulate cell activation and differentiation. Exists as a GPI-anchored and as a transmembrane form, each likely initiating distinct signaling pathways via phosphoinositol 3-kinase in activated NK cells and via LCK and CD247/CD3 zeta chain in activated T cells. Receptor for both classical and non-classical MHC class I molecules. In the context of acute viral infection, recognizes HLA-C and triggers NK cell cytotoxic activity, likely playing a role in anti-viral innate immune response. On CD8+ T cells, binds HLA-A2-B2M in complex with a viral peptide and provides a costimulatory signal to activated/memory T cells. Upon persistent antigen stimulation, such as occurs during chronic viral infection, may progressively inhibit TCR signaling in memory CD8+ T cells, contributing to T cell exhaustion. On endothelial cells, recognizes HLA-G and controls angiogenesis in immune privileged sites. Receptor or ligand for TNF superfamily member TNFRSF14, participating in bidirectional cell-cell contact signaling between antigen presenting cells and lymphocytes. Upon ligation of TNFRSF14, provides stimulatory signal to NK cells enhancing IFNG production and anti-tumor immune response. On activated CD4+ T cells, interacts with TNFRSF14 and down-regulates CD28 costimulatory signaling, restricting memory and alloantigen-specific immune response. In the context of bacterial infection, acts as a ligand for TNFRSF14 on epithelial cells, triggering the production of antimicrobial proteins and pro-inflammatory cytokines. The soluble GPI-cleaved form, usually released by activated lymphocytes, might play an immune regulatory role by limiting lymphocyte effector functions.
Subunit / interactions. Homomultimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with HLA-G. Interacts with HLA-A2-B2M in complex with an HIV-derived peptide. Interacts with TNFRSF14 (via cysteine-rich domain 1); this interaction is direct. Interacts with LCK and CD247/CD3 zeta chain.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane Secreted.
Tissue specificity. Expression is restricted to functional NK and cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Expressed in viral-specific effector memory and terminally differentiated effector memory CD8+ T cells. Expressed in memory and activated CD4+ T cell subsets (at protein level). Expressed at high levels in intraepithelial lymphocytes (at protein level). Expressed in both alpha-beta and gamma-delta CD8+ T cell subsets (at protein level). Expressed in umbilical vein endothelial cells (at protein level). Expressed in monocytes and at lower levels in B cells. Isoform 3: Expressed exclusively in activated NK cells (at protein level).
Induction. Up-regulated on CD4+ T cells upon stimulation via T cell receptor plus costimulation via CD28. Up-regulated by IL15 on immunoregulatory NCAM1/CD56-bright NK cells.
Miscellaneous. Mutagenesis of Tyr-225 to Phe abolishes intracellular signaling.
