FUNCTION: Involved in the presentation of foreign antigens to the immune system. SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of an alpha chain and a beta chain (beta-2- microglobulin). Interacts with human herpesvirus 8 MIR1 protein (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. PTM: Polyubiquitinated in a post ER compartment by interaction with human herpesvirus 8 MIR1 protein. This targets the protein for rapid degradation via the ubiquitin system (By similarity). POLYMORPHISM: The following alleles of Cw-6 are known: Cw*06:02 Cw*06:03 and Cw*06:04. Allele Cw*062 is a risk factor that confers susceptibility to psoriasis. The sequence shown is that of Cw*06:02. DISEASE: Genetic variations in HLA-C are a cause of susceptibility to psoriasis type 1 (PSORS1) [MIM:177900]. Psoriasis is a common, chronic inflammatory disease of the skin with multifactorial etiology. It is characterized by red, scaly plaques usually found on the scalp, elbows and knees. These lesions are caused by abnormal keratinocyte proliferation and infiltration of inflammatory cells into the dermis and epidermis. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MHC class I family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 Ig-like C1-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. GENE SYNONYMS:HLA-C HLAC. COPYRIGHT: Protein annotation is derived from the UniProt Consortium (http://www.uniprot.org/).
