| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables peptide antigen binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including antigen processing and presentation of endogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I via ER pathway, TAP-dependent; antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I; and positive regulation of T cell mediated cytotoxicity. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; and retina. Used to study myositis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); asthma (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); and inner ear disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including HLA-A (major histocompatibility complex, class I, A); HLA-B (major histocompatibility complex, class I, B); and HLA-C (major histocompatibility complex, class I, C). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions of this gene display T-cell abnormalities and abnormal susceptibility to various viral infections. [provided by MGI curators] |
