NKp46 signalling pathway
Description
NKp46 is an activating receptor on NK cells that recognizes pathogen- or tumor-specific ligands. Upon ligand binding, it triggers signaling through adaptor proteins containing ITAMs, leading to the activation of downstream pathways like PI3K-Akt, ERK, and PLCγ, which promote NK cell cytotoxicity and cytokine production. This process enables NK cells to kill infected or malignant cells and enhance immune responses.
