Background
| Function | 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10426993, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11224526, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11491531, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11777960, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9497295}. |
| Pathway | |
| Protein Families | MHC class I family, MIC subfamily |
| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed with the exception of the central nervous system where it is absent. Expressed predominantly in gastric epithelium and also in monocytes, keratinocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and in the outer layer of Hassal's corpuscles within the medulla of normal thymus. In skin, expressed mainly in the keratin layers, basal cells, ducts and follicles. Also expressed in many, but not all, epithelial tumors of lung, breast, kidney, ovary, prostate and colon. In thyomas, overexpressed in cortical and medullar epithelial cells. Tumors expressing MICA display increased levels of gamma delta T-cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10359807, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10363723, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10691930, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12902493, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17565371, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8901601, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9396860}. |
