Functions as docking site for PI3-kinase PIK3R1 and GRB2. Interaction of ULBPs with KLRK1-HCST triggers calcium mobilization and activation of the PIK3R1, MAP2K/ERK, and JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathways. Both PIK3R1 and GRB2 are required for full KLRK1-HCST-mediated activation and ultimate killing of target cells. In NK cells, KLRK1-HCST signaling directly induces cytotoxicity and enhances cytokine production initiated via DAP12/TYROBP-associated receptors. In T-cells, it provides primarily costimulation for TCR-induced signals. KLRK1-HCST receptor plays a role in immune surveillance against tumors and is required for cytolysis of tumors cells; indeed, melanoma cells that do not express KLRK1 ligands escape from immune surveillance mediated by NK cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10426994, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10528161, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11015446, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11777960, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12740575, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12740576, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16002667, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16339517, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16582911, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18097042}. |DAP10| |phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase binding| |positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling| |regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling| |signaling receptor binding| |cell surface| |protein phosphorylation| |positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction| |regulation of immune response| |phosphorylation| |positive regulation of signal transduction| |regulation of immune system process| |positive regulation of cell communication| |positive regulation of signaling| |regulation of intracellular signal transduction| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp432|YM155 0.001μM R08 exp432]]|1.81| |[[:results:exp409|THZ531 0.11μM R07 exp409]]|1.99| |[[:results:exp260|ABT-702 0.1μM R06 exp260]]|2.27| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
