Antigen-presenting major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) molecule. In complex with B2M/beta 2 microglobulin displays primarily viral and tumor-derived peptides on antigen-presenting cells for recognition by alpha-beta T cell receptor (TCR) on HLA-A-restricted CD8-positive T cells, guiding antigen-specific T cell immune response to eliminate infected or transformed cells (PubMed:10449296, PubMed:12138174, PubMed:12393434, PubMed:1402688, PubMed:15893615, PubMed:17189421, PubMed:19543285, PubMed:21498667, PubMed:24192765, PubMed:24395804, PubMed:2456340, PubMed:2784196, PubMed:28250417, PubMed:7504010, PubMed:7694806, PubMed:9862734). May also present self-peptides derived from the signal sequence of secreted or membrane proteins, although T cells specific for these peptides are usually inactivated to prevent autoreactivity (PubMed:25880248, PubMed:7506728, PubMed:7679507). Both the peptide and the MHC molecule are recognized by TCR, the peptide is responsible for the fine specificity of antigen recognition and MHC residues account for the MHC restriction of T cells (PubMed:12796775, PubMed:18275829, PubMed:19542454, PubMed:28250417). Typically presents intracellular peptide antigens of 8 to 13 amino acids that arise from cytosolic proteolysis via IFNG-induced immunoproteasome or via endopeptidase IDE/insulin-degrading enzyme (PubMed:17079320, PubMed:17189421, PubMed:20364150, PubMed:26929325, PubMed:27049119).

May also display spliced peptides resulting from the ligation of two separate proteasomal cleavage products that are not contiguous in the parental protein (PubMed:27049119).

HLA-A also known as Human Leukocyte Antigen A is a protein that is part of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. It has an approximate molecular mass of 44 kDa. HLA-A is expressed on the surface of nearly all nucleated cells and interacts with CD8+ T lymphocytes. Known for its role in immune recognition HLA-A presents endogenous peptide antigens to the T-cell receptor on cytotoxic T cells initiating immune responses to eliminate infected or malignant cells.
This target functions as a component of the MHC class I molecule complex. HLA-A binds peptides derived from proteasomal degradation of intracellular proteins and presents these peptides on the cell surface. The function plays an essential role in immune surveillance and distinction between self and non-self. This antigen presentation is important for immune responses against viral infections and tumor surveillance influencing the activation and proliferation of T lymphocytes.
HLA-A plays a significant role in the antigen processing and presentation pathway. It is closely related to the TAP (Transporter associated with Antigen Processing) proteins which transport antigenic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum for loading onto MHC class I molecules. Additionally the target interacts with the CD8 molecule on cytotoxic T cells. This interaction is important within the immune response pathway contributing to the recognition and destruction of infected cells.
HLA-A has been associated with autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection. It plays a significant role in conditions like ankylosing spondylitis where specific HLA-A subtypes contribute to disease susceptibility. Additionally mismatches in HLA-A typing can lead to transplant rejection. In such scenarios anti-HLA antibodies can develop causing damage to transplant tissues. The complex interaction of HLA-A with related proteins such as other MHC class I molecules influences immune response outcomes in these diseases.
