Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for CD160(NM_007053.3) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
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.
Gene References into function
- BY55 functions as a co-receptor in TCR signal transduction of a human cytotoxic effector T lymphocyte subset lacking CD28 expression
- CD94-expressing cells with cytolytic activity against the recipient's leukemic and tumor cells without enhancement of alloresponse might be able to be expanded from donor G-PBMCs.
- The CD160 receptor represents a unique triggering surface molecule expressed by cytotoxic NK cells that participates in the inflammatory response and determines the type of subsequent specific immunity.
- We report that CD160 acts as a co-activator receptor for CD3-induced proliferation of CD4+ CD160+ T cells isolated from inflammatory skin lesions.
- short-time incubation of NK lymphocytes with IL-15 converts the membrane-bound CD160 to a soluble form; activated NK lymphocytes release a soluble form of CD160 that functionally impairs the MHC-I-specific cytotoxic CD8(+) T lymphocyte responsiveness
- CD160 serves as a negative regulator of CD4+ T cell activation through its interaction with HVEM.
- Apart from CD160 mRNA, three additional transcripts generated through alternative splicings of the CD160 gene can be detected in peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cells but not in peripheral blood CD8-positive T cells, upon activation.
