Major histocompatibility complex class I-related gene protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MR1gene.[1][2][3] The MR1 protein is able to bind to molecules derived from bacterial riboflavin biosynthesis, and then present it to mucosal associated invariant T cells for activation.[4][5]
