Human Antigen peptide transporter 2 (TAP2) ELISA Kit

The membrane-associated protein encoded by TAP2 is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). Antigen peptide transporter 2 is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. This gene is located 7 kb telomeric to gene family member ABCB2. Antigen peptide transporter 2 is involved in antigen presentation. Antigen peptide transporter 2 forms a heterodimer with ABCB2 in order to transport peptides from the cytoplasm to the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in TAP2 may be...

The membrane-associated protein encoded by TAP2 is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters.

Antigen peptide transporter 2 is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. This gene is located 7 kb telomeric to gene family member ABCB2. Antigen peptide transporter 2 is involved in antigen presentation. Antigen peptide transporter 2 forms a heterodimer with ABCB2 in order to transport peptides from the cytoplasm to the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in TAP2 may be associated with ankylosing spondylitis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and celiac disease. Alternative splicing of this gene produces products which differ in peptide selectivity and level of restoration of surface expression of MHC class I molecules.
