function:Involved in the presentation of foreign antigens to the immune system.,similarity:Belongs to the MHC class I family.,similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like C1-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.,subunit:Heterodimer of an alpha chain and a beta chain (beta-2-microglobulin).,tissue specificity:Expression of HLAG seems to be restricted to eye cells and tissue.,
