Function

Functions as an activating and costimulatory receptor involved in immunosurveillance upon binding to various cellular stress-inducible ligands displayed at the surface of autologous tumor cells and virus-infected cells. Provides both stimulatory and costimulatory innate immune responses on activated killer (NK) cells, leading to cytotoxic activity. Acts as a costimulatory receptor for T-cell receptor (TCR) in CD8(+) T-cell-mediated adaptive immune responses by amplifying T-cell activation. Stimulates perforin-mediated elimination of ligand-expressing tumor cells. Signaling involves calcium influx, culminating in the expression of TNF-alpha. Participates in NK cell-mediated bone marrow graft rejection. May play a regulatory role in differentiation and survival of NK cells. Binds to ligands belonging to various subfamilies of MHC class I-related glycoproteins including MICA, MICB, RAET1E, RAET1G, RAET1L/ULBP6, ULBP1, ULBP2, ULBP3 (ULBP2>ULBP1>ULBP3) and ULBP4.

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

NKG2D also known as natural killer group 2 member D is a type-2 transmembrane receptor with a mass of approximately 42 kDa. Expressed primarily on natural killer (NK) cells CD8+ T cells subsets of CD4+ T cells and some macrophages it recognizes stress-induced ligands presented on target cells. This protein plays an important role in the immune system's recognition and elimination of infected or transformed cells by binding to its ligands which include MHC class I chain-related proteins MICA/B and UL16-binding proteins.

Biological function summary

NKG2D acts as an activating receptor on the cell surface that initiates immune responses leading to cytotoxicity against target cells. It functions as part of a complex involving the adaptor protein DAP10 which transduces activating signals to promote cellular immune responses. This interaction amplifies the activation of immune cells and contributes to the host's defense against tumors and virally infected cells.

Pathways

NKG2D plays a significant role in immune surveillance and signaling pathways. It actively involves in the natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity pathway and the adaptive immune response pathway. The interaction with proteins such as DAP10 is critical for its signaling function contributing to its interaction within these pathways. The signaling through NKG2D directly affects the activation states and responses of immune cells which are vital in immune defense.

Associated diseases and disorders

NKG2D is implicated in cancer and autoimmune diseases. In cancer overexpression of its ligands on tumor cells makes them susceptible to NKG2D-mediated cell lysis. On the other hand aberrant expression of NKG2D ligands in autoimmune disorders can lead to inappropriate immune activation. The interaction with MICA/B proteins is significant in these conditions emphasizing its importance in both immune surveillance and potential disease pathogenesis.
