| Description: | HLA-DPA1 belongs to the HLA class II alpha chainparalogues. This class II molecule is a heterodimer consisting ofan alpha (DPA) and a beta (DPB) chain, both anchored in themembrane. It plays a central role in the immune system bypresenting peptides derived from extracellular proteins. Class IImolecules are expressed in antigen presenting cells (APC: Blymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages). The alpha chain isapproximately 33-35 kDa and its gene contains 5 exons. Exon oneencodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the twoextracellular domains, exon 4 encodes the transmembrane domain andthe cytoplasmic tail. Within the DP molecule both the alpha chainand the beta chain contain the polymorphisms specifying the peptidebinding specificities, resulting in up to 4 different molecules. |
| Further Information: | This HLA-DPA1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 231-259 amino acids from the C-terminal region of human HLA-DPA1. |
