NCBI Summary

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]

GeneRIFs

  • The NKp30-B7-H6 structure revealed that this NK cell activating complex is distinct from the CTLA4-B7 and PD-1-PD-L T cell inhibitory complexes in both overall organization and detailed atomic interactions that mediate binding and specificity. [PMID 21422170]
  • Affinity Capture-MS [PMID 21875946]
  • DKFZp686O24166 was designated the gene B7-H6; identification as a tumor cell surface molecule that binds NKp30, a receptor which triggers antitumor NK cell cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion [PMID 19528259]
