  • type II integral membrane protein
  • in dendritic cells, localized to Rab14+ endosomal storage compartment required for MHC class I cross presentation (Saveanu 2009)
  • localized in a regulated endosomal storage compartment
    • basic FUNCTION
  • control of onset of labour
  • potential regulator of glucose transporter isoform 4 vesicle trafficking in adipocytes
  • recycling of LNPEP from the plasma membrane back to the insulin-responsive compartment requires the Q-SNARE STX6 but not the GGA clathrin adaptors
  • codistributes with the insulin-responsive glucose transporter SLC2A4 in specialised vesicles, where it plays a role in the tethering and/or trafficking of these vesicles
  • role for LNPEP and SLC2A4 in activity-dependent glucose uptake in hippocampal neurones
  • may be involved in maintaining pregnancy homeostasis via metabolizing peptides such as oxytocin and vasopressin
  • ERAP1, ERAP2, LNPEP play critical roles in the generation of antigenic peptides
  • membrane-bound zinc metallopeptidase
  • involved in the renin-angiotensin system, which also has a key role in cardiovascular disease and diabetes

  • LNPEP binding protein, vimentin, plays an important role in retention of SLC2A4 storage vesicles (GSVs)
  • largely combines the S1 specificity of ERAP1 and ERAP2, consistent with its proposed biological function
  • colocalized with the endosomal markers RAB14 and syntaxin 6, both known to be associated with regulated endosomal storage compartments
