Micb Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable natural killer cell lectin-like receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including gamma-delta T cell activation; response to heat; and response to retinoic acid. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Orthologous to human MICB (MHC class I polypeptide-related sequence B).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Micb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Immunoglobulin C1-set domain
- Class I Histocompatibility antigen, domains alpha 1 and 2
- natural killer cell lectin-like receptor binding
- immunoglobulin domain
- receptor agonist activity
- protein binding
