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.

gp41 C34 peptide, HIV (C34 gp41 HIV Fragment)

Target (abbrv.) C34 gp41 HIV Fragment
Target (full name) gp41 C34 peptide, HIV
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL016148 (4792-51_2)
Entrez Gene Symbol Human-virus
UniProt ID Q70626
UniProt Comment
  • Envelope glycoprotein gp160: Oligomerizes in the host endoplasmic reticulum into predominantly trimers. In a second time, gp160 transits in the host Golgi, where glycosylation is completed. The precursor is then proteolytically cleaved in the trans-Golgi and thereby activated by cellular furin or furin-like proteases to produce gp120 and gp41.

Complement C4 (C4)

Target (abbrv.) C4
Target (full name) Complement C4
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL000316 (4481-34_2)
Entrez Gene Symbol C4AC4B
UniProt ID P0C0L4P0C0L5
UniProt Comment
  • P0C0L4: Non-enzymatic component of C3 and C5 convertases and thus essential for the propagation of the classical complement pathway. Covalently binds to immunoglobulins and immune complexes and enhances the solubilization of immune aggregates and the clearance of IC through CR1 on erythrocytes. C4A isotype is responsible for effective binding to form amide bonds with immune aggregates or protein antigens, while C4B isotype catalyzes the transacylation of the thioester carbonyl group to form ester bonds with carbohydrate antigens.

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs3828922) and 5 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.
