Nodes:
Network nodes represent proteins
splice isoforms or post-translational modifications are collapsed, i.e. each node represents all the proteins produced by a single, protein-coding gene locus.
Node Color
colored nodes:
query proteins and first shell of interactors
white nodes:
second shell of interactors
Node Content
empty nodes:
proteins of unknown 3D structure
filled nodes:
a 3D structure is known or predicted
Edges:
Edges represent protein-protein associations
associations are meant to be specific and meaningful, i.e. proteins jointly contribute to a shared function; this does not necessarily mean they are physically binding to each other.

MICBMHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B; 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; Belongs to the MHC class I family. MIC subfamily. (383 aa)    
Predicted Functional Partners:
KLRK1
NKG2-D type II integral membrane protein; 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-exp [...]

ULBP1
UL16-binding protein 1; Binds and activates the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, mediating natural killer cell cytotoxicity.
  
   
 0.969
MICA
MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence A; 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. Belongs to the MHC class I family. MIC subfamily.
  
0.968
ULBP2
UL16-binding protein 2; Binds and activates the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, mediating natural killer cell cytotoxicity.
  
  
 0.965
HCST
Hematopoietic cell signal transducer; Transmembrane adapter protein which associates with KLRK1 to form an activation receptor KLRK1-HCST in lymphoid and myeloid cells; this receptor plays a major role in triggering cytotoxicity against target cells expressing cell surface ligands such as MHC class I chain- related MICA and MICB, and UL16-binding proteins (ULBPs); these ligands are up-regulated by stress conditions and pathological state such as viral infection and tumor transformation. Functions as docking site for PI3-kinase PIK3R1 and GRB2. Interaction of ULBPs with KLRK1-HCST trigg [...]

KLRD1
Natural killer cells antigen CD94; Plays a role as a receptor for the recognition of MHC class I HLA-E molecules by NK cells and some cytotoxic T-cells.
   
  
 0.795
RAET1L
UL16-binding protein 6; Binds and activates the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, mediating natural killer cell cytotoxicity; Belongs to the MHC class I family.
  
   
 0.792
RAET1G
UL-16 binding protein 5; [Isoform 1]: Binds and activates the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, mediating natural killer cell cytotoxicity. [Isoform 2]: Stimulates natural killer cells to secrete IFNG. Belongs to the MHC class I family.

LILRB1
Leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor subfamily B member 1; Receptor for class I MHC antigens. Recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-G and HLA-F alleles. Receptor for H301/UL18, a human cytomegalovirus class I MHC homolog. Ligand binding results in inhibitory signals and down-regulation of the immune response. Engagement of LILRB1 present on natural killer cells or T-cells by class I MHC molecules protects the target cells from lysis. Interaction with HLA-B or HLA-E leads to inhibition of FCER1A signaling and serotonin release. Inhibits FCGR1A-mediated phosphorylatio [...]

IL15
Interleukin-15; Cytokine that stimulates the proliferation of T-lymphocytes. Stimulation by IL15 requires interaction of IL15 with components of the IL2 receptor, including IL2RB and probably IL2RG but not IL2RA. In neutrophils, stimulates phagocytosis probably by signaling through the IL15 receptor, composed of the subunits IL15RA, IL2RB and IL2RG, which results in kinase SYK activation ; Belongs to the IL-15/IL-21 family.
