Target Details for MICA

Target: MICA (MHC Class I Polypeptide-Related Sequence A (MICA))

Alternative Name: HLA-Class I (MICA Products)

Synonyms: MIC-A antibody, PERB11.1 antibody, MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A antibody, MICA antibody

Background: HLA-class I major histocompatibility (MHC) antigens are intrinsic membrane glycoproteins expressed on nucleated cells and noncovalently associated with an invariant beta2 microglobulin. They carry foreign determinants important for immune recognition by cytotoxic T cells, thus important for anti-viral and anti-tumour defence. Human HLA-class I antigens are represented by HLA-A, HLA-B and HLA-C molecules.

Pathways: Activation of Innate immune Response, Transition Metal Ion Homeostasis
