Gene: MICB-DT
Alternate names for this Gene: TCONS_00012692
Gene Summary:
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6p21.33
Description of this Gene: MICB divergent transcript
Type of Gene: ncRNA
Gene: MICB
Alternate names for this Gene: PERB11.2
Gene Summary: 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.
