HLA-DQA2

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