Gene information for MICB (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4277
Official gene symbolMICB
Full nameMHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B
Aliases,PERB11.2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a heavily glycosylated protein which is a ligand for the NKG2D type II receptor. Binding of the ligand activates the cytolytic response of natural killer (NK) cells, CD8 alphabeta T cells, and gammadelta T cells which express the receptor. This protein is stress-induced and is similar to MHC class I molecules; however, it does not associate with beta-2-microglobulin or bind peptides. [provided by RefSeq]
