RT1-M5 - RT1 class Ib, locus M5 Gene

Predicted to enable peptide antigen binding activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antigen processing and presentation of endogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I via ER pathway, TAP-independent; antigen processing and presentation of endogenous peptide antigen via MHC class Ib; and positive regulation of T cell mediated cytotoxicity. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; hepatitis C; and occupational asthma. Orthologous to human HLA-E (major histocompatibility complex, class I, E); HLA-F (major histocompatibility complex, class I, F); and HLA-G (major histocompatibility complex, class I, G).
