Abstract excerpt
The transporter associated with Ag processing, TAP, is an endoplasmic reticulum resident heterodimeric member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter family. TAP transports short peptides from cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum lumen for loading into recently synthesized class I MHC molecules. In the rat, two alleles of the TAP2 chain differ in their permissiveness to the transport of peptides with small...
