anti-HLA A2 antibody [BB7.2]
anti-HLA A2 antibody [BB7.2] for IHC-Frozen sections,Flow cytometry,Immunoprecipitation and Human
Overview
| Product Description | Mouse Monoclonal antibody [BB7.2] recognizes HLA A2 Mouse anti Human HLA A2 antibody, clone BB7.2 recognizes the human HLA-A2 histocompatability antigen. The epitope recognized by this antibody has been studied extensively and would appear to include the carboxy-terminus of the alpha-2 helix and a turn on one of the underlying beta strands. Mouse anti Human HLA A2 antibody, clone BB7.2 may be used for the flow cytometric detection of HLA-A2 expression and has also been used for immunoaffinity purification of HLA-A2 molecules. Functionally Mouse anti Human HLA A2 antibody, clone BB7.2 is reported to inhibit MHC restricted cellular cytotoxicity. |

Swiss-port # P30443 Human HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, A-1 alpha chain |
|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | HLA-A |
| Gene Full Name | major histocompatibility complex, class I, A |
| Background | HLA-A belongs to the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues. This class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (beta-2 microglobulin). The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane. Class I molecules play a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from the endoplasmic reticulum lumen. They are expressed in nearly all cells. The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons. Exon 1 encodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the alpha1 and alpha2 domains, which both bind the peptide, exon 4 encodes the alpha3 domain, exon 5 encodes the transmembrane region, and exons 6 and 7 encode the cytoplasmic tail. Polymorphisms within exon 2 and exon 3 are responsible for the peptide binding specificity of each class one molecule. Typing for these polymorphisms is routinely done for bone marrow and kidney transplantation. Hundreds of HLA-A alleles have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Involved in the presentation of foreign antigens to the immune system. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 40 kDa |
| PTM | Polyubiquitinated in a post ER compartment by interaction with human herpesvirus 8 MIR1 protein. This targets the protein for rapid degradation via the ubiquitin system (By similarity). [UniProt] |
