| Function |
Plays a critical role in catalyzing the release of class II-associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP) from newly synthesized MHC class II molecules and freeing the peptide binding site for acquisition of antigenic peptides. In B-cells, the interaction between HLA-DM and MHC class II molecules is regulated by HLA-DO. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16547258, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8849454, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9768757}.
