Recombinant Human MICA Protein, MYC/DDK-tagged

• Cat.No.: MICA-1235H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human MICA protein, fused to MYC/DDK tag at C-terminus, was expressed in HEK293.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: HEK293
• Tag: DDK&Myc
• Description: This gene encodes the highly polymorphic major histocompatability complex class I chain-related protein A. The protein product is expressed on the cell surface, although unlike canonical class I molecules it does not seem to associate with beta-2-microglobulin. It is a ligand for the NKG2-D type II integral membrane protein receptor. The protein functions as a stress-induced antigen that is broadly recognized by intestinal epithelial gamma delta T cells. Variations in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to psoriasis 1 and psoriatic arthritis, and the shedding of MICA-related antibodies and ligands is involved in the progression from monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance to multiple myeloma. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014].
