HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY

HLA, class I family

CATEGORY

antigen

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm
text	highly expressed, for example, in placental villi, on the surface of invasive and migratory extra-villus trophoblasts (EVTs) and decidual stromal cells (DSCs)

basic FUNCTION	likely to only bind to a restricted set of proteins
	is thought to regulate immune responses and could play an important role in regulating maternal-fetal immunotolerance during pregnancy
	HLA-F expression increases during the menstrual cycle and is upregulated by progesterone during the differentiation of endometrial stromal fibroblasts (ESFs) into DSCs

Type Gene Modification Chromosome rearrangement Protein expression Protein Function constitutional     --over   as the menstrual cycle progresses and is upregulated by progesterone, PGR, and GATA2 during the differentiation of ESFs into DSCs and dysregulation is associated with implantation failure and recurrent spontaneous abortion

Susceptibility

to variation of fecundability

Variant & Polymorphism SNP	SNP rs2523393, which is an eQTL for HLA-F, is significantly associated with fecundability
