| UniProt functional annotation for P28068 | |||
| UniProt code: P28068. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Plays a critical role in catalyzing the release of class II- associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP) from newly synthesized MHC class II molecules and freeing the peptide binding site for acquisition of antigenic peptides. In B-cells, the interaction between HLA-DM and MHC class II molecules is regulated by HLA-DO. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16547258, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23260142, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8849454, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9768757}. | |
| Subunit: | Heterodimer of an alpha chain (DMA) and a beta chain (DMB) (PubMed:16547258, PubMed:9768757). Interacts with MHCII; this interaction mediates rapid selection of high-affinity peptides in a pH- dependent manner, with an optimum at pH 5.5 (PubMed:23260142). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16547258, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23260142, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9768757}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Late endosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8757605}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8757605}. Lysosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8757605}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8757605}. Note=Localizes to late endocytic compartment. Associates with lysosome membranes. | |
| Domain: | The YXXZ (Tyr-Xaa-Xaa-Zaa, where Zaa is a hydrophobic residue) motif mediates the targeting to the lysosomal compartments. | |
| Polymorphism: | The following alleles of DMB are known: DMB*01:01, DMB*01:02, DMB*01:03, DMB*01:04 (DMB3.4), DMB*01:05, DMB*01:06, and DMB*01:07. The sequence shown is that of DMB*01:01. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the MHC class II family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
