Antigen encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) including several complement factors, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) $\ce{\upalpha\!}$, and lymphotoxin.
Note: The genes are found on the short arm of chromosome 6 between class I and class II genes, and although the gene products share no common function with the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and MHC class II molecules, they are often discussed together.
