RT1 class I, locus M6, gene 2 (Ensembl:RT1 class I, locus M6, gene 1)
RGD ID:
1595815
Description:
Predicted to enable 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 lumenal side of endoplasmic reticulum membrane and phagocytic vesicle membrane. Predicted to be part of MHC class I protein complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome; asthma (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); and inner ear disease (multiple). Orthologous to human HLA-B (major histocompatibility complex, class I, B); HLA-C (major histocompatibility complex, class I, C); and HLA-E (major histocompatibility complex, class I, E); PARTICIPATES IN allograft rejection pathway; antigen processing and presentation pathway; autoimmune thyroiditis pathway; INTERACTS WITH 17alpha-ethynylestradiol; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 2,6-dinitrotoluene.
