ULBP3

The protein encoded by this gene is one of several related ligands of the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor, which is found in primary NK cells. Binding of these ligands to the receptor activates several signal transduction pathways, including the JAK2, STAT5, and ERK pathways. The encoded protein is expressed solubly and on the surface of many tumor cells, making it potentially an important target for therapeutics.

Interaction

Interacts with KLRK1/NKG2D (PubMed:11491531, PubMed:11777960, PubMed:11754823). Does not bind to beta2-microglobulin (By similarity). (Microbial infection) In CMV-infected cells, interacts with the viral glycoprotein UL16 and UL142; this interaction causes ULBP3 retention in the endoplasmic reticulum and cis-Golgi and prevents binding to and activation of KLRK1/NKG2D, providing CMV with an immune evasion mechanism.
