Human MICAa3 Protein, mFc Tag

Description :Recombinant human MICAa3 Protein with C-terminal mouse Fc tagBackground : 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. Molecular Characterization: mass of 37.9 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of MICAa3 (203-306) -mFc is approximately 35-70 kDa due to glycosylation.Tag :C-mouse Fc Tag
