High-Yield Explanation
HLA-A is a group of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) that are coded for by the HLA-A locus, which is located at human chromosome 6p21.3.] HLA is a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen specific to humans. HLA-A is one of three major types of human MHC class I cell surface receptors. The others are HLA-B and HLA-C. The receptor is a heterodimer, and is composed of a heavy a chain and smaller b chain. The a chain is encoded by a variant HLA-A gene, and the b chain (b2-microglobulin) is an invariant b2 microglobulin molecule.] The b2 microglobulin protein is coded for by a separate region of the human genomeAlpha fetoprotein (AFP) germ cell tumor, hepatocellular carcinoma but may also be elevated in for example endometrial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, lung cancer, breast cancer and gastrointestinal cancer.
