MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A, MIC-A, MICA {ECO:0000312|EMBL:CAI419071}
MICA is the higly polymorphic MHC (HLA) class I chain-related gene A. The protein product is expressed on the cell surface, although unlike canonical class I molecules does not seem to associate with beta-2-microglobulin. It is thought that MICA functions as a stress-induced antigen that is broadly recognized by intestinal epithelial gamma delta T cells.
Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed.
Target:
The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP8626c was selected from the Center region of human MICA. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
