| Background Information | HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, alpha chain F (UniProt: P30511; also known as CDA12, HLA F antigen, Leukocyte antigen F, MHC class I antigen F) is encoded by the HLA-F (also known as HLA-5.4, HLAF) gene (Gene ID: 3134) in human. HLA-F is a single-pass type I membrane heterodimeric protein that is involved in the presentation of foreign antigens to the immune system. It is expressed in B cells, NK cells, monocytes, and T cells and its expression is reported to be coincident with the activated immune response. It is mainly localized in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, with a small amount present at the cell surface in some cell types. It is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-21), which is subsequently cleaved off. The mature form has an extracellular domain (aa 22-305), a transmembrane domain (aa 306-329), and a short cytoplasmic domain (aa 330-346). The HLA-F locus has very low allelic polymorphism and is highly conserved in distantly related non-human primates indicating its conserved function. It is involved in the regulation of immune system in pregnancy, infection, and autoimmunity by signaling through NK cell receptors. (Ref.: Dulberger, CL et Al. (2017).
