OverviewNCBI Gene

HLA-DPB belongs to the HLA class II beta chain paralogues. This class II molecule is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha (DPA) and a beta chain (DPB), both anchored in the membrane. It plays a central role in the immune system by presenting peptides derived from extracellular proteins. Class II molecules are expressed in antigen presenting cells (APC: B lymphocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages). The beta chain is approximately 26-28 kDa and its gene contains 6 exons. Exon one encodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the two extracellular domains, exon 4 encodes the transmembrane domain and exon 5 encodes the cytoplasmic tail. Within the DP molecule both the alpha chain and the beta chain contain the polymorphisms specifying the peptide binding specificities, resulting in up to 4 different molecules.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against HLA-DPB1 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads HLA-DPB1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against HLA-DPB1 could matter depends on whether native HLA-DPB1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

HLA-DPB1 is annotated at the cell surface, where native HLA-DPB1 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label HLA-DPB1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
