HLA Class I Histocompatibility Antigen, A-23 Alpha ChainNCIt concept
Preferred Label : HLA Class I Histocompatibility Antigen, A-23 Alpha Chain;
NCIt synonyms : HLA Class I Histocompatibility Antigen, A*23 Alpha Chain; HLA-A23; MHC Class I Antigen A*23; Human Leukocyte Antigen A23; Major Histocompatibility Complex, Class I, A23 Antigen; HLA-A*23; HLA-A23 Antigen; HLA-A Class I Antigen 23; HLA-A Histocompatibility Type Antigen 23;
NCIt definition : HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, A-23 alpha chain (365 aa, 41 kDa) is encoded
by the human HLA-A gene. This protein is involved in the presentation of foreign antigens
to the immune system and may contribute to both maturation of NK cells and self-nonself
discrimination during innate immune response.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: The human leukocyte antigen serotype A23 from the HLA-A serotype group encoded
by the HLA-A gene.;
NCIt note : There are at least 234 subserotypes of the HLA class I histocompatibility antigen
(HLA), A-23 alpha chain. HLA-A*23:01 derivatives represent the dominant subtype. (IPD-IMGT/HLA
