H2-M3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables peptide antigen binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of biosynthetic process; positive regulation of leukocyte mediated cytotoxicity; and response to bacterium. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Part of MHC class Ib protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; liver; and lung. 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-M3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Immunoglobulin C1-set domain
  • Class I Histocompatibility antigen, domains alpha 1 and 2
  • CD8 receptor binding
  • immunoglobulin domain
  • protein homodimerization
  • receptor binding
  • identical protein binding
  • peptide antigen binding
