Scientific background: |
HLA-DMB(major histocompatibility complex, class II, DM beta), also known as D6S221E, RING7,
HLA-DM histocompatibility type, beta chain, HLADMB or RING7, is a protein that in humans is
encoded by the HLA-DMB gene. The HLA-DMB gene is mapped on 6p21.32. HLA-DMB belongs to the
HLA class II beta chain paralogues. This class II molecule is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha (DMA)
and a beta (DMB) chain, both anchored in the membrane. It is located in intracellular vesicles. DM plays
a central role in the peptide loading of MHC class II molecules by helping to release the CLIP (class
II-associated invariant chain peptide) molecule from the peptide binding site. Class II molecules are
expressed in antigen presenting cells. The beta chain is approximately 26-28 kDa and its gene contains
6 exons. HLA-DMA and -DMB appear to encode subunits of a functional heterodimer that is critical in
the pathway of class II antigen presentation. |
