NCIt synonyms : HLA-DQB1; CELIAC1; IDDM1; Major Histocompatibility Complex, Class II, DQ Beta 1 wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human HLA-DQB1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 6p21.3 and is approximately
7 kb in length. This allele, which encodes HLA class II histocompatibility antigen,
DQ beta 1 chain protein, plays a role in the regulation of antigen presentation.;
NCIt note : The human population has at least 22 alleles of the HLA-DQB1 gene, which potentially
encode several isoforms of the major histocompatibility complex, class II, DQ1 beta
chain protein. Gene products have been elucidated for two isoforms.;
