About ULBP1

Cytogenetic location: 6q25.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:149,963,943-149,973,715 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 454 orthologues and 22 paralogues. Biased expression in testis (RPKM 1.6), lung (RPKM 0.5) and 3 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a ligand of natural killer group 2, member D (NKG2D), an immune system-activating receptor on NK cells and T-cells. Binding of the encoded ligand to NKG2D leads to activation of several signal transduction pathways, including those of JAK2, STAT5, ERK and PI3K kinase/Akt. Also, in cytomegalovirus-infected cells, this ligand binds the UL16 glycoprotein and is prevented from activating the immune system. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
