This gene encodes the highly polymorphic major histocompatability complex class I chain-related protein A.
The protein product is expressed on the cell surface, although unlike canonical class I molecules it does not seem to associate with beta-2-microglobulin.
It is a ligand for the NKG2-D type II integral membrane protein receptor.
The protein functions as a stress-induced antigen that is broadly recognized by intestinal epithelial gamma delta T cells.
Variations in this gene have been associated with susceptibility to psoriasis 1 and psoriatic arthritis, and the shedding of MICA-related antibodies and ligands is involved in the progression from monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance to multiple myeloma.
Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
