Entrez ID 3118
Gene name Major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ alpha 2
Gene symbol HLA-DQA2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DC-alphaDQA1DX-ALPHAHLA-DCAHLA-DXAHLADQA2
Chromosome 6
Chromosome location 6p21.32
Summary This gene belongs to the HLA class II alpha chain family. The encoded protein forms a heterodimer with a class II beta chain. It is located in intracellular vesicles and plays a central role in the peptide loading of MHC class II molecules by helping to r

Protein name HLA class II histocompatibility antigen, DQ alpha 2 chain (DX alpha chain) (HLA class II histocompatibility antigen, DQ(6) alpha chain) (HLA-DQA1) (MHC class II DQA2)
Protein function Binds peptides derived from antigens that access the endocytic route of antigen presenting cells (APC) and presents them on the cell surface for recognition by the CD4 T-cells. The peptide binding cleft accommodates peptides of 10-30 residues. T
