The membrane tetraspan protein MS4A4A is expressed on tissue-resident and tumor-associated macrophages. Locati and colleagues show that MS4A4A colocalizes with the β-glucan receptor dectin-1 to enhance cytokine and reactive oxygen species production and to enhance NK cell–mediated control of tumor metastasis.
