    basic FUNCTION
  • transporting cytosolic peptides, generated by the proteasome, to the ER lumen for loading onto MHC class I molecules
  • involved in multidrug resistance
  • playing a key role in antigen processing and presentation
  • transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP1 and TAP2) represents a focal point in the immune recognition of virally or malignantly transformed cells by translocating proteasomal degradation products into the endoplasmic reticulum-lumen for loading of MHC class I molecules
  • TAP1, TAP2 binds to peptide-receptive MHC class I molecules to form the MHC class I peptide-loading complex (PLC)
  • normal influx of TAP1, TAP2-transported peptides in the ER during routine processing creates an efficient barrier for peptides from alternative processing routes
  • TAP1, TAP2 translocates cellular peptides across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane in an ATP hydrolysis-dependent manner
  • TAP1 and TAP-associated glycoprotein (TAPBP) play important roles in regulating MHC class I expression
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component with TAP2 of a heterodimer, component of a functional peptide-transporting complex with HLA-I and TAPBP
  • ER-resident peptide-loading complex (PLC) consists of the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP1 and TAP2), assembled with the auxiliary factors TAPBP and MHC I
  • TAP1, TAP2/TAPBP complex formation is driven by hydrophobic interactions via leucine zipper-like motifs
