DCIR plays a signaling role in the release of exosomes (AChE+ vesicles).
Signal transduction via the ITIM motif is involved in this release.
Proteins contained in EVs derived from HIV-1-infected cells are enriched in DAP-3.
EVs may play a role in HIV-1 pathogenesis by inducing apoptosis in CD4TL.
EVs may increase neutrophil lifespan.
