HLA-C and infection: Both LOC110530755 and LOC110530756 encode NACHT proteins, which are implicated in apoptosis and MHC (major histocompatibility complex) transcription activation (Koonin and Aravind, 2000; Laing et al., 2008), and play important roles in activation of animal innate immune responses to pathogen infection (Jones et al., 2016).
