'''HLA-G histocompatibility antigen, class I, G''', also known as human leukocyte antigen G ('''HLA-G'''), is a [[protein]] that in humans is encoded by the ''HLA-G'' [[gene]].<ref name= "entrez"/>

HLA-G belongs to the [[human leukocyte antigen|HLA]] nonclassical class I heavy chain paralogues. This class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain ([[beta-2 microglobulin]]). The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane. HLA-G is expressed on fetal derived placental cells. The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons. Exon one encodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the alpha1 and alpha2 domain, which both bind the peptide, exon 4 encodes the alpha3 domain, exon 5 encodes the transmembrane region, and exon 6 encodes the cytoplasmic tail.<ref name= "entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: HLA-G HLA-G histocompatibility antigen, class I, G| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=3135| accessdate = }}</ref> Exon 7 and 8 are not translated due to a stop codon present in exon 6.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Castelli|first=Erick C.|last2=Mendes-Junior|first2=Celso T.|last3=Veiga-Castelli|first3=Luciana C.|last4=Roger|first4=Michel|last5=Moreau|first5=Philippe|last6=Donadi|first6=Eduardo A.|date=2011-11-01|title=A Comprehensive Study of Polymorphic Sites along the HLA-G Gene: Implication for Gene Regulation and Evolution|url=http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/28/11/3069|journal=Molecular Biology and Evolution|language=en|volume=28|issue=11|pages=3069–3086|doi=10.1093/molbev/msr138|issn=0737-4038|pmid=21622995}}</ref>

HLA-G histocompatibility antigen, class I, G, also known as human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HLA-G gene.[1]

HLA-G belongs to the HLA nonclassical class I heavy chain paralogues. This class I molecule is a heterodimer consisting of a heavy chain and a light chain (beta-2 microglobulin). The heavy chain is anchored in the membrane. HLA-G is expressed on fetal derived placental cells. The heavy chain is approximately 45 kDa and its gene contains 8 exons. Exon one encodes the leader peptide, exons 2 and 3 encode the alpha1 and alpha2 domain, which both bind the peptide, exon 4 encodes the alpha3 domain, exon 5 encodes the transmembrane region, and exon 6 encodes the cytoplasmic tail.[1] Exon 7 and 8 are not translated due to a stop codon present in exon 6.[2]

Function

HLA-G may play a role in immune tolerance in pregnancy, being expressed in the placenta by extravillous trophoblast cells (EVT), while the classical MHC class I genes (HLA-A and HLA-B) are not.[3] As HLA-G was first identified in placenta samples, many studies have evaluated its role in pregnancy disorders, such as preeclampsia and recurrent pregnancy loss.[4] its downregulation is related to HLA-A and -B downregulation results in protection from cytotoxic T cell responses, but would in theory result in a missing self response by natural killer cells. HLA-G is a ligand for NK cell inhibitory receptor KIR2DL4, and therefore expression of this HLA by the trophoblast defends it against NK cell-mediated death.[5]

However, a large family with several members bearing only "null" HLA-G alleles has been found. None of these homozygous subjects have pregnancy or birth difficulties; nor do they present immunodeficiencies, autoimmune diseases, or tumors.[6][7] It is striking that this "null" allele (HLA-G*01:05N), while it is quite frequent in some populations, like in Iranians, it is almost absent in some Amerindian populations.[8] Also, some higher primates do not show all MHC-G isoforms.[9] In addition, Cercopithecinae middle-sized Old World monkeys do not bear full MHC-G molecules since all of these monkeys present stop codons at MHC-G DNA.[10] All of these anomalies must be studied.

The presence of soluble HLA-G (sHLA-G) in embryos is associated with better pregnancy rates. In order to optimize pregnancy rates, there is significant evidence that a morphological scoring system is the best strategy for the selection of embryos.[11] However, presence of soluble HLA-G might be considered as a second parameter if a choice has to be made between embryos of morphologically equal quality.[11]

Interactions

HLA-G has been shown to interact with CD8A.[12][13]
