Anti-MICB Antibody Picoband® Fluoro488 Conjugated

Product Specifications

Background

MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MICB gene. This 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Synonyms

MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B; MIC-B; MICB ; PERB11.2

Gene Name

MICB

Gene ID

4277

UniProt

Q29980

Host

Rabbit

Reactivity

Human, Mouse

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human MICB.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed with the exception of the central nervous system where it is absent. Expressed in many, but not all, epithelial tumors of lung, breast, kidney, ovary, prostate and colon. In hepatocellular carcinomas, expressed in tumor cells but not in surrounding non-cancerous tissue. .

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Field of Research

Adaptive Immunity, Class I, Immunology

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Form

Liquid

Function

Seems to have no role in antigen presentation. Acts as a stress-induced self-antigen that is recognized by gamma delta T cells. Ligand for the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor. Binding to KLRK1 leads to cell lysis. .
