HLA-DRB1: Cross references

HLA-DRB1: Keywords

HLA-DR1 molecule: Function From SWISS-PROT Protein of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II which is involved in the induction of strong immune reaction. MHC II is involved in the control the expression of surface structures on lymphocytes and macrophages.
