<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''HLA-A''' is a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule, encoded by the HLA-A gene. It is a human leukocyte antigen, a protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system. HLA-A is part of the HLA class I heavy chain paralogues. This group also includes HLA-B and HLA-C. The HLA-A molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (beta-2 microglobulin). The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons. The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane. For HLA-A, the alpha chain has 365 amino acids. The alpha chain is produced by 2750 nucleotides long mRNA. The alpha chain has the following protein sequence.<br />
<br />
== Function ==<br />
HLA-A is a cell surface protein that interacts with killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) found on natural killer cells, which are a component of the innate immune system. HLA-A presents small peptides derived from intracellular proteins to the immune system. This presentation allows the immune system to detect cells that are infected with viruses or other pathogens.<br />
<br />
== Polymorphism ==<br />
HLA-A is highly polymorphic, meaning that it has many different alleles, each of which produces a slightly different protein. This polymorphism allows the immune system to respond to a wide range of foreign invaders. The HLA-A locus has over 1000 known alleles.<br />
<br />
== Clinical significance ==<br />
HLA-A alleles have been linked to a variety of diseases, including ankylosing spondylitis, Behcet's disease, and certain types of cancer. They are also important in organ transplantation, as matching the HLA-A alleles of the donor and recipient can reduce the risk of graft-versus-host disease.<br />
