HLA Class I Histocompatibility Antigen A Alpha Chain (HLA-A)

Target
HLA-A
Molecular classification
Transmembrane glycoprotein, MHC Class I molecule, Receptor
01

Overview

The HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, A alpha chain (HLA-A), is a major component of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system. It is a transmembrane protein that presents endogenous peptides to CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes, playing a crucial role in immune surveillance and adaptive immunity. High allelic diversity contributes to immune system variability and influences susceptibility to diseases.
