Protein Coding Gene : H2-Q8 histocompatibility 2, Q region locus 8

Primary Identifier  MGI:95937 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  17 NCBI Gene Number  68395
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. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antigen processing and presentation of endogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I via ER pathway, TAP-independent; antigen processing and presentation of endogenous peptide antigen via MHC class Ib; and positive regulation of T cell mediated cytotoxicity. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be part of MHC class I protein complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Is expressed in spleen. Orthologous to human HLA-H (major histocompatibility complex, class I, H (pseudogene)).
PHENOTYPE: This locus controls a lymphocyte antigen recognized by a monoclonal antibody. It is present on T-cells of lymph node, spleen and bone marrow, but absent from thymus. Strains positive for antigen are C57BL/6, C57BL/10, C57L, 129, NZB and SJL; other strains tested were negative. [provided by MGI curators]
