H2-M2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including 14-3-3 protein binding activity; TAP binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antigen processing and presentation of endogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I via ER pathway, TAP-independent; antigen processing and presentation of endogenous peptide antigen via MHC class Ib; and positive regulation of T cell mediated cytotoxicity. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; immune system; integument; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome; asthma (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); and inner ear disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including HLA-B (major histocompatibility complex, class I, B); HLA-C (major histocompatibility complex, class I, C); and HLA-F (major histocompatibility complex, class I, F).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse H2-M2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
