H2-DMb2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable MHC class II protein complex binding activity and peptide antigen binding activity. Acts upstream of or within antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class II and chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding. Located in endosome membrane; lysosomal membrane; and multivesicular body. Orthologous to human HLA-DMB (major histocompatibility complex, class II, DM beta).

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-Dmb2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
