anti-HLA F antibody [3D11] (PE)
anti-HLA F antibody [3D11] (PE) for Flow cytometry and Human
Overview
| Product Description | PE-conjugated Mouse Monoclonal antibody [3D11] recognizes HLA F |
|---|---|
| Tested Reactivity | Hu |
| Tested Application | FACS |
| Specificity | The mouse monoclonal antibody 3D11 recognizes an extracellular epitope of HLA-F, a 42 kDa type I transbembrane protein expressed on B cells, NK cells, monocytes, and T cells, but mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, only a small amount on the cell surface, where, however, it can be expressed after cell activation. |

Swiss-port # P30511 Human HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, alpha chain F |
|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | HLA-F |
| Gene Full Name | major histocompatibility complex, class I, F |
| Background | This gene belongs to the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues. It encodes a non-classical heavy chain that forms a heterodimer with a beta-2 microglobulin light chain, with the heavy chain anchored in the membrane. Unlike most other HLA heavy chains, this molecule is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, with a small amount present at the cell surface in some cell types. It contains a divergent peptide-binding groove, and is thought to bind a restricted subset of peptides for immune presentation. This gene exhibits few polymorphisms. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. These variants lack a coding exon found in transcripts from other HLA paralogues due to an altered splice acceptor site, resulting in a shorter cytoplasmic domain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Non-classical major histocompatibility class Ib molecule postulated to play a role in immune surveillance, immune tolerance and inflammation. Functions in two forms, as a heterotrimeric complex with B2M/beta-2 microglobulin and a peptide (peptide-bound HLA-F-B2M) and as an open conformer (OC) devoid of peptide and B2M (peptide-free OC). In complex with B2M, presents non-canonical self-peptides carrying post-translational modifications, particularly phosphorylated self-peptides. Peptide-bound HLA-F-B2M acts as a ligand for LILRB1 inhibitory receptor, a major player in maternal-fetal tolerance. Peptide-free OC acts as a ligand for KIR3DS1 and KIR3DL2 receptors (PubMed:28636952). Upon interaction with activating KIR3DS1 receptor on NK cells, triggers NK cell degranulation and anti-viral cytokine production (PubMed:27455421). Through interaction with KIR3DL2 receptor, inhibits NK and T cell effector functions (PubMed:24018270). May interact with other MHC class I OCs to cross-present exogenous viral, tumor or minor histompatibility antigens to cytotoxic CD8+ T cells, triggering effector and memory responses (PubMed:23851683). May play a role in inflammatory responses in the peripheral nervous system. Through interaction with KIR3DL2, may protect motor neurons from astrocyte-induced toxicity (PubMed:26928464). [UniProt] |
