Summary: Enables peptide antigen binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of biosynthetic process; positive regulation of leukocyte mediated cytotoxicity; and response to bacterium. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Part of MHC class Ib protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma and hepatitis C. Orthologous to human HLA-G (major histocompatibility complex, class I, G). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

study found the receptor Ly49A bound the MHC class I molecule H2-M3 with an affinity similar to its affinity for H-2D(d); specific recognition of H2-M3 by Ly49A regulated 'licensing' of NK cells and mediated 'missing-self' recognition of H2-M3-deficient bone marrow
Title: Recognition of the nonclassical MHC class I molecule H2-M3 by the receptor Ly49A regulates the licensing and activation of NK cells.
Similar to H2-M3-restricted CD8-positive T cells, CD8+ T cells restricted to other major histocompatibility class Ib molecules are able to undergo extensive proliferation after primary infection with Listeria monocytogenes.
Title: Nonconventional CD8+ T cell responses to Listeria infection in mice lacking MHC class Ia and H2-M3.
H2-M3-restricted CD8+ T cells contribute to protective immunity against intracellular bacterial pathogen Chlamydia pneumoniae.
Title: CD8+ T cell protective immunity against Chlamydia pneumoniae includes an H2-M3-restricted response that is largely CD4+ T cell-independent.
Activation and proliferation of M3-restricted CD8+ T cells is not required for protective immunity against Listeria monocytogenes
Title: H2-M3-restricted CD8+ T cells are not required for MHC class Ib-restricted immunity against Listeria monocytogenes.
MHC class Ia-restricted responses cannot compensate for H2-M3-mediated immunity; a nonredundant role of H2-M3 is suggested in protective immunity against Listeria monocytogenes.
Title: Impaired response to Listeria in H2-M3-deficient mice reveals a nonredundant role of MHC class Ib-specific T cells in host defense.
The association of H2-M3 molecules with the peptide-loading complex of the endoplasmic reticulum is dramatically decreased by incubation of live cells with exogenous M3 ligands.
Title: Tapasin enhances peptide-induced expression of H2-M3 molecules, but is not required for the retention of open conformers.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
