RT1-Db2 - RT1 class II, locus Db2 Gene

Also known as Db2

About RT1-Db2

Summary

Predicted to enable MHC class II protein complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class II; peptide antigen assembly with MHC class II protein complex; and positive regulation of T cell activation. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be part of MHC class II protein complex. Predicted to be active in late endosome membrane and lysosomal membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including asthma (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); Bacterial infectious disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); and sarcoidosis (multiple). Orthologous to human HLA-DRB1 (major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR beta 1) and HLA-DRB5 (major histocompatibility complex, class II, DR beta 5).
