HLAE Polyclonal Antibody detects endogenous levels of protein.

HLA-E HLA-6.2 HLAE

HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, alpha chain E (MHC class I antigen E)

HLA-E belongs to the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues. This class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (beta-2 microglobulin). The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane. HLA-E binds a restricted subset of peptides derived from the leader peptides of other class I molecules. The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons. Exon one encodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the alpha1 and alpha2 domains, which both bind the peptide, exon 4 encodes the alpha3 domain, exon 5 encodes the transmembrane region, and exons 6 and 7 encode the cytoplasmic tail.

Caution:The existence of allele E*0102 (PubMed:3260916) and allele E*0104 (PubMed:1977695) is uncertain. The alleles could not be confirmed in further studies (PubMed:12445303).,Function:Preferably binds to a peptide derived from the signal sequence of most HLA-A, -B, -C and -G molecules.,polymorphism:The following alleles of E-1 are known: E*0101, E*0102, E*0103 and E*0104. The sequence shown is that of E*0101.,similarity:Belongs to the MHC class I family.,similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like C1-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.,subunit:Heterodimer of an alpha chain and a beta chain (beta-2-microglobulin).,

Expressed in secretory endometrial cells during pregnancy (at protein level). The expression in nonlymphoid tissues is restricted to endothelial cells from all types of vessels, including arteries, veins, capillaries, and lymphatics (at protein level). In lymphoid organs, it is mainly expressed in endothelial venules, B and T cells, monocytes, macrophages, NK cells and megakaryocytes (at protein level).
