Description
D-α-Methyl DOPA is an inhibitor of DQ8 peptide binding to MHC class II molecules. By occupying a binding site in the DQ8 peptide groove, D-α-Methyl DOPA prevents the DQ8 peptide from associating with MHCII molecules. This action blocks presentation to CD4+ T cells, thereby slowing or hindering the onset or progression of type 1 diabetes or celiac disease.
