👉 A haloferax is a type of protein that plays a crucial role in the immune system, specifically in the T-cell response. It consists primarily of two types of proteins: the alpha and beta subunits, which bind to antigens on the surface of pathogens or cells. The presence of these subunits enhances the affinity between the antigen and the T-cell receptor, allowing for the efficient destruction of these antigens by the immune system.
