HLA class I histocompatibility antigen, C alpha chain

The HLA-C gene encodes an alpha chain of the MHC-I molecule which is present on almost all body cells and presents there intracellular oligopeptides to CD8 T cells. This antigen presentation is importand for development of immunotolerance and defense of virus infections. Variants are ssociated with varous immunological disorders such as autoinflammation and susceptibility to infections.
