HLA complex group 24 (HCG24)

HLA complex group 24 (HCG24, also called dJ1033B10.15) is a human gene located within the HLA region, which comprises genes involved in the immune system and antigen presentation. However, HCG24 is annotated as a non-protein coding gene and does not encode a protein product[2][4][6]. Unlike the classical HLA genes (e.g., HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, HLA-DP), which encode cell-surface receptors involved in immune recognition, HCG24 has no established function in antigen presentation, immune response, or disease and is not recognized as a therapeutic target[2][4][6]. HCG24 should not be confused with HLA receptors or proteins that are established drug targets[1][3][5]. If the intention was to query a protein-coding HLA gene or a known receptor, this entry would be incorrect for those purposes, as it is not a receptor or protein target.
