Biolegend, 373206, PE/Dazzle™ 594 anti-human HLA-F Antibody, 100tests

A 42kD member of non-classical or class Ib human MHC family. It exhibits low allelic polymorphism and shorter cytoplasmic tail due to absence of exon seven. It is expressed irrespective of bound peptide. It is primarily found intracellularly on Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi membrane and its surface expression increases in correlation with classical MHC-I up regulation in activated monocytes, B, T, and NK cells. It is involved in inflammatory responses. It stabilizes the unstable MHC-I Open Conformers (OC) and facilitates uptake of extracellular antigen for cross presentation.
