What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Receptor for class I MHC antigens. Recognizes a broad spectrum of HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-G and HLA-F alleles (PubMed:11169396, PubMed:12853576, PubMed:16455647, PubMed:20448110, PubMed:27859042). Involved in the down-regulation of the immune response and the development of tolerance. Recognizes HLA-G in complex with B2M/beta-2 microglobulin and a nonamer self-peptide (peptide-bound HLA-G-B2M) triggering differentiation of type 1 regulatory T cells and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, both of which actively maintain maternal-fetal tolerance (PubMed:16455647, PubMed:20448110, PubMed:27859042). Competes with CD8A for binding to class I MHC antigens. Inhibits FCGR1A-mediated phosphorylation…

Subunit structure

Binds PTPN6 when phosphorylated. Binds FCGR1A. Interacts with peptide-bound HLA-G-B2M; this interaction is direct (PubMed:16455647). Interacts with peptide-bound HLA-F-B2M; this interaction is direct (PubMed:11169396)
