Background
HLADQA1 belongs to the HLA class II alpha chain paralogues. The class II molecule is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha (DQA) and a beta chain (DQB), both anchored in the membrane. It plays a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from extracellular proteins. Class II molecules are expressed in antigen presenting cells (APC: B Lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages). HLADQA2 forms a heterodimer with a class II beta chain. It is located in intracellular vesicles and plays a central role in the peptide loading of MHC class II molecules by helping to release the CLIP molecule from the peptide binding site.Synonyms: DX alpha chain, HLA class II histocompatibility antigen DQ alpha 2 chain, HLA class II histocompatibility antigen DQ(6) alpha chain, HLA-DQA1, HLA-DXA, MHC class II DQA2
