HLA-DQA2
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
HLA class II histocompatibility antigen, DQ(6) alpha chain is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HLA-DQA2 gene. Also known as HLA-DXA or DAAP-381D23.2, it is part of the human leukocyte antigen system.[5]

The protein encoded by this gene is expressed, but unlike HLA-DQA1, it is apparently unable to heterodimerize with HLA class II beta chain paralogues.[6] The low level of HLA-DQA2 expression is apparently due to impaired transcription factor binding to the HLA-DQA2 gene promoter.[7]
