Peptide-Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I Complex (pMHC-I)

Target: pMHC-I
Molecular classification: Receptor, MHC Class I complex

Overview

The peptide-major histocompatibility complex class I (pMHC-I) complex is a molecular assembly found on the surface of all nucleated cells in vertebrates. Its primary function is to present peptide fragments, typically 8–10 amino acids long, derived from intracellular proteins to cytotoxic CD8+ T cells. This process enables the immune system to monitor cellular health and detect infected or malignant cells.
