== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MICA_HUMAN MICA_HUMAN] Note=Anti-MICA antibodies and ligand shedding are involved in the progression of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)to multiple myeloma.  Genetic variations in MICA may be a cause of susceptibility to psoriasis type 1 (PSORS1) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/177900 177900]. Psoriasis is a common, chronic inflammatory disease of the skin with multifactorial etiology. It is characterized by red, scaly plaques usually found on the scalp, elbows and knees. These lesions are caused by abnormal keratinocyte proliferation and infiltration of inflammatory cells into the dermis and epidermis.  Genetic variation in MICA is a cause of susceptibility to psoriatic arthritis (PSORAS) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/607507 607507]. PSORAS is an inflammatory, seronegative arthritis associated with psoriasis. It is a heterogeneous disorder ranging from a mild, non-destructive disease to a severe, progressive, erosive arthropathy. Five types of psoriatic arthritis have been defined: asymmetrical oligoarthritis characterized by primary involvement of the small joints of the fingers or toes; asymmetrical arthritis which involves the joints of the extremities; symmetrical polyarthritis characterized by a rheumatoidlike pattern that can involve hands, wrists, ankles, and feet; arthritis mutilans, which is a rare but deforming and destructive condition; arthritis of the sacroiliac joints and spine (psoriatic spondylitis).
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/MICA_HUMAN MICA_HUMAN] Seems to have no role in antigen presentation. Acts as a stress-induced self-antigen that is recognized by gamma delta T-cells. Ligand for the KLRK1/NKG2D receptor. Binding to KLRK1 leads to cell lysis.<ref>PMID:9497295</ref> <ref>PMID:10426993</ref> <ref>PMID:11491531</ref>
