  • 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
