cleaved into a soluble form found in lysosome lumen
LAPTM5 and CD1E colocalize in trans-Golgi and late endosomal compartments
basic FUNCTION
involved in the immune response
helping to expand the repertoire of glycolipidic T cell antigens to optimize antimicrobial immune resposnes
related to the peptide-presenting MHC class I family
could be a pot
participates in the presentation of lipid antigens in dendritic cells
CELLULAR PROCESS
PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
PATHWAY
metabolism
signaling
a component
forming heterodimer with beta-2-microglobulin
INTERACTION
DNA
RNA
small molecule
protein
interaction of LAPTM5 with CD1E, suggesting that LAPTM5 might influence the role of CD1E in the presentation of lipid antigens
cell & other
REGULATION
Other
mono-ubiquitinated, ubiquitination of CD1E appears to trigger its exit from Golgi compartments and its transport to endosomes
ASSOCIATED DISORDERS

Susceptibility
Variant & Polymorphism
other
one variant of CD1E with a proline at position 194, does not assist PIM(6) presentation to CD1b-restricted specific T cells, homozygous individuals might display an altered immune response to complex glycolipid Ags
