PTK2B, PYK2. Binding of NK cells to sensitive target cells or ligation of ??2 integrins results in a rapid induction of Pyk2 phosphorylation and activation.
y contrast, no detectable Pyk2 tyrosine phosphorylation is found upon CD16 stimulation.
Pyk2 activation is a crucial event for natural but not Ab-dependent cytotoxicity.
Ligation of Beta2 integrins on NK cells resulted in Pyk2-dependent Erk activation, probaby via VAV1/RAC1 pathway.
Pyk-2-mediated control of integrin-triggered Rac-1 activation involves the regulation of Vav tyrosine phosphorylation.
