Protein
UniProt ID P01906
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
