MICA Protein, Human (HEK293, His)
Based on 1 Customer Validation
MICA is a ligand for the stress signaling protein and natural killer (NK) cell activating receptor KLRK1/NKG2D. Tumor cells shed the expressed MICA protein and undergo immune evasion. MICA Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived MICA protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.
- Species: Human
- Source: HEK293
-
Storage:Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Biological Activity
Description
MICA is a ligand for the stress signaling protein and natural killer (NK) cell activating receptor KLRK1/NKG2D. Tumor cells shed the expressed MICA protein and undergo immune evasion. MICA Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived MICA protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.
Background
MICA is an MHC class I chain-associated protein and a ligand for the stress signaling protein and natural killer (NK) cell-activating receptor KLRK1/NKG2D. MICA serves as a stress-induced autoantigen recognized by γδ T cells. Tumor cells escape by shedding overexpressed MICA, disrupting the biological function of NKG2D. CRC patients with high MICA expression have poor prognosis. In patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) receiving curative chemoradiotherapy (CRT), persistently elevated levels of soluble MICA-related sequences and TGF-β1 mark a higher risk of tumor progression or death.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).
Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
