ERAP2 Polyclonal Antibody

cofactor:Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit.,function:Aminopeptidase that plays a central role in peptide trimming, a step required for the generation of most HLA class I-binding peptides. Peptide trimming is essential to customize longer precursor peptides to fit them to the correct length required for presentation on MHC class I molecules. Preferentially hydrolyzes the basic residues Arg and Lys.,induction:By IFN-gamma.,miscellaneous:Defects in the expression of this gene may cause improper antigen processing, possibly leading to favor tumor escape from the immune surveillance.,PTM:N-glycosylated.,similarity:Belongs to the peptidase M1 family.,subunit:Heterodimer; with ERAP1.,tissue specificity:Ubiquitously expressed. Highly expressed in spleen and leukocytes.,
