HLA-G

HLA-G is a special protein found in the human body that helps regulate the immune system. It plays a key role during pregnancy by preventing the mother's immune system from attacking the developing baby, which is genetically different. HLA-G also contributes to immune tolerance in organ transplants and can influence immune responses in certain diseases. By modulating immune activity, HLA-G helps maintain a balance between protecting against infections and preventing excessive immune reactions that could harm the body.
