Abstract excerpt
Endoplasmic Reticulum Aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) generates antigenic peptides for loading onto Major Histocompatibility Class I molecules (MHCI) and can regulate adaptive immune responses. During the last few years, many genetic studies have revealed strong associations between coding Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in ERAP1 and common human diseases ranging from viral infections to cancer and autoimmunity....
