DNAX accessory molecule-1 (DNAM-1, CD226) isa cell surface molecule capable of enhancing cytolytic activity and cytokine production in NK cells. Its ligands represented by two members of the nectin family: the poliovirus receptor (PVR CD155) and nectin-2 (CD112). Both molecules can be highly expressed in tumor cell lines, including carcinomas, melanomas and neuroblastomas.
