Function
Widely expressed membrane-bound protein which acts as a ligand to stimulate an activating receptor KLRK1/NKG2D, expressed on the surface of essentially all human natural killer (NK), gammadelta T and CD8+ alphabeta T-cells (PubMed:11491531, PubMed:11777960). Up-regulated in stressed conditions, such as viral and bacterial infections or DNA damage response, serves as signal of cellular stress, and engagement of KLRK1/NKG2D by MICA triggers NK-cells resulting in a range of immune effector functions, such as cytotoxicity and cytokine production.

The reference range value is 156.25 - 10000 pg/ml.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:
- - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
- - Improved sensitivity and specificity
- - Long-term security of supply
- - Animal-free batch production
For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.
This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

- Activity summary
MICB also known as MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B is a protein with a molecular weight of around 42 kDa. It anchors on cell surfaces and is widely expressed in epithelial cells fibroblasts and monocytes. MICB surfaces on stressed cells but remains minimal in normal conditions indicating its involvement in cell stress response. It is an activating ligand for NKG2D receptor on natural killer (NK) cells and certain T cells playing a major role in immune surveillance.
- Biological function summary
MICB contributes to immune system functioning by presenting stress-induced antigens to immune cells. It does not belong to a complex but engages in interactions critical for activating cytotoxic responses. By binding to the NKG2D receptor it helps activate NK cells and certain T cell subsets which results in the elimination of damaged or transformed cells. This immune activation is important for the surveillance against cancer and infected cells maintaining tissue homeostasis.
- Pathways
MICB plays a role in the stress-induced NKG2D signaling pathway and is involved in the immune response pathway. It cooperates with proteins such as NKG2D and MICA another ligand of the NKG2D receptor to initiate immune cell-mediated cytotoxicity. These pathways activate NK cells and CD8+ T cells important for removing stressed or altered cells thereby influencing the body's defense mechanisms.
- Associated diseases and disorders
MICB has connections to cancer and autoimmune disorders. Aberrant expression of MICB appears in tumors affecting tumor immune evasion and associates with autoimmune diseases influencing immune tolerance. Dysregulation of MICB activity can affect interactions with proteins like NKG2D altering immune responses and contributing to disease progression. Therefore understanding MICB's role is critical for developing therapeutic interventions targeting immune-related diseases.
