  • CIITA molecular target review


    MHC stands for Major Histocompatibility Complex, which is a group of closely linked genes that determine whether transplanted tissues are compatible, are closely related to immune responses, and are only present in antigen presenting cells and lymphocytes. MHC Class II contains two chains, namely α and β chains, each of which contains two regions. The α chain contains the α1 and α2 regions, and the β chain contains the β1 and β2 regions. α2 and β2 are transmembrane domains that anchor the MHC Class II molecules to the cell membrane. The polypeptide binding site exists between the heterodimers formed by α1 and β1.

    Mouse Ciita Target Molecular Function (Prediction)


    Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; protein C-terminus binding activity; and transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and response to interferon-gamma. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Predicted to be located in PML body; cell surface; and cytosol. Is expressed in bladder; central nervous system; and retina. Used to study MHC class II deficiency and osteoporosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Addison's disease; MHC class II deficiency; autoimmune disease (multiple); and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human CIITA (class II major histocompatibility complex transactivator).
