TAP-associated glycoprotein also known as tapasin or TAPBP is a protein[1] [2] that, in humans, is encoded by the TAPBP gene.[3]
Contents |
Function
This gene encodes a transmembrane glycoprotein that mediates interaction between newly-assembled major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules and the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP), which is required for the transport of antigenic peptides across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. This interaction facilitates optimal peptide loading on the MHC class I molecule. Up to four complexes of MHC class I and tapasin may be bound to a single TAP molecule. Tapasin contains a C-terminal double-lysine motif (KKKAE) known to maintain membrane proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. In humans, the tapasin gene lies within the major histocompatibility complex on chromosome 6. Alternative splicing results in three transcript variants encoding different isoforms.[3]
Tapasin is a MHC class I
Interactions
Tapasin has been shown to interact with TAP1[5][6] and HLA-A.[6]
