Function
ALLELE C*15:02: Presents CMV epitope derived from UL83 CC (VVCAHELVC) to CD8-positive T cells, triggering T cell cytotoxic response.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein); Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Single-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in fetal extravillous trophoblasts in the decidua basalis (at protein level)
Disease Association: Psoriasis 1 (PSORS1) : A common, chronic inflammatory disease of the skin with multifactorial etiology. It is characterized by red, scaly plaques usually found on the scalp, elbows and knees. These lesions are caused by abnormal keratinocyte proliferation and infiltration of inflammatory cells into the dermis and epidermis. [Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Allele C*06:02 presents a melanocyte autoantigen ADAMTSL5 (VRSRRCLRL) to Valpha3S1/Vbeta13S1 TCR on CD8-positive T cells, and may trigger an autoimmune response against melanocytes]
