Murine UL16 binding protein-like transcript

Murine UL16 binding protein-like transcript (MULT-1) is a murine cell surface glycoprotein encoded by MULT-1 gene located on murine chromosome 10.{{Cite journal|title = Cutting Edge: Murine UL16-Binding Protein-Like Transcript 1: A Newly Described Transcript Encoding a High-Affinity Ligand for Murine NKG2D|journal = The Journal of Immunology|date = 2002-10-15|issn = 0022-1767|pmid = 12370332|pages = 4079–4083|volume = 169|issue = 8|doi = 10.4049/jimmunol.169.8.4079|first = Leonidas N.|last = Carayannopoulos|first2 = Olga V.|last2 = Naidenko|first3 = Daved H.|last3 = Fremont|first4 = Wayne M.|last4 = Yokoyama|doi-access = free}}{{Cite journal|title = A novel ligand for the NKG2D receptor activates NK cells and macrophages and induces tumor immunity|journal = European Journal of Immunology|date = 2003-02-01|issn = 1521-4141|pages = 381–391|volume = 33|issue = 2|doi = 10.1002/immu.200310012|first = Andreas|last = Diefenbach|first2 = Jennifer K.|last2 = Hsia|first3 = Ming-Yu B.|last3 = Hsiung|first4 = David H.|last4 = Raulet|pmid=12645935|doi-access = free}} MULT-1 is related to MHC class I and is composed of α1α2 domain, a transmembrane segment, and a large cytoplasmic domain. MULT-1 functions as a stress-induced ligand for NKG2D receptor.
