Background: NKG2D ligand 1; also called ULBP1; is a member of UL16-binding protein (ULBP) family which has also been termed the retinoic acid early transcript 1 (RAET1) family. Unlike the classical MHC class I molecules and the MIC molecules possess α1; α2 and α3 domains; ULBP/RAET1 family members lack α3 domain. ULBP1 is recognized by the activating receptor NKG2D on the surface of cytotoxic natural killer (NK) and T cells; and then promotes the lysis of cells expressing ULBP1 which is important for the immune surveillance. ULBP1 and several other family members; ULBP2 and ULBP5; own the ability to bind the human cytomegalovirus (CMV) UL16 glycoprotein. The human CMV glycoprotein UL16 binds to intracellular ULBP1 and so inhibits its expression at the cell surface; which reduces the susceptibility of the virus-infected cell to cytotoxic destruction by NK cells. The expression of ULBP1 has been found on some tumor cells and is implicated in tumor surveillance.
