HLA-B*58:01
Active
Description
The human leukocyte antigen B (HLA-B; [HGNC Gene ID: 4932]) plays an important role in how the immune system recognizes and responds to pathogens. HLA-B belongs to a class of molecules that are found on the surface of most cells. These molecules are responsible for presenting peptides to immune cells. Peptides derived from normal human proteins are recognized as such, whereas foreign peptides derived from pathogens trigger an immune response. Allopurinol specifically interacts with HLA-B*58:01 and alters the repertoire of self-peptides that are presented to T lymphocytes, which activates an immune reaction known as severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCAR), including drug hypersensitivity syndrome, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis.
