MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A (MICA)

Target (abbrv.) MICA
Target (full name) MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL005199 (2730-58_2)
Entrez Gene Symbol MICA
UniProt ID Q29983
UniProt Comment
  • 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.
Biomarker applications (based on IPA annotation)

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs17206736) and 18 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.
