Micb - MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B

Predicted to enable natural killer cell lectin-like receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including immune response-activating cell surface receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of defense response to virus by host; and response to retinoic acid. Predicted to be anchored component of membrane. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Orthologous to human MICB (MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
