HLA-A is a group of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) that are coded for by the HLA-A locus, which is located at human chromosome 6p21.3.

HLA is a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) antigen specific to humans.

HLA-A is one of three major types of human MHC class I cell surface receptors.

The others are HLA-B and HLA-C.

The receptor is a heterodimer, and is composed of a heavy α chain and smaller β chain.

The α chain is encoded by a variant , and the β chain (β2-microglobulin) is an invariant β2 microglobulin molecule.

The β2 microglobulin protein is coded for by a separate region of the human genome.
