Abstract excerpt
The heterodimeric transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP1/TAP2) translocates peptides from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum where loading of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules takes place. TAP transporters from different species are known to exhibit distinct transport specificities with regard to the C-terminal amino acid (aa) of peptides. Thus, human TAP (hTAP), and rat TAP...
