| Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 15040 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable beta-2-microglobulin binding activity; peptide antigen binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within antigen processing and presentation of endogenous peptide antigen via MHC class Ib via ER pathway, TAP-dependent; inner ear development; and positive regulation of T cell mediated cytotoxicity. Predicted to be located in cell surface and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of MHC class I protein complex and MHC class Ib protein complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and small intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in occupational asthma. Orthologous to human HLA-E (major histocompatibility complex, class I, E). PHENOTYPE: CD4+ T cells from mice with a homozygous null mutation have enhanced responses after infection or immunization, are resistant to suppressor activity mediated by a subset of CD8+ T cells, but are more susceptible to NK cell lysis.
