Major histocompatibility complex MHC class I molecule

Peptides that serve as ligands for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules can activate vomeronasal sensory neurons. These peptides contain nine amino acid residues and activate sensory neurons from the V2 receptor...

Group of transmembrane proteins engaged in the presentation of small peptide fragments to T-cells. Two classes of Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules exist both of which are encoded by a highly polymorphic gene cluster. MHC class I and class II proteins present peptide fragments to CD8+ and CD4+ T-cells, respectively. The human MHC is also known as HLA, the murine MHC as H-2 complex.

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is part of the system that codes for molecules important in immune recognition, including graft rejection. MHC class I and II molecules present antigen fragments to T-lymphocytes. For example, class I molecules bind viral proteins and present them to the CD8+ T cells. Exogenous antigens such as proteins taken into the cell by endocytosis are processed within the cell and presented to CD4+ cells.
