Gene information for ERAP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID64167
Official gene symbolERAP2
Full nameendoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2
Aliases,FLJ23633,FLJ23701,FLJ23807,L-RAP,LRAP,
Gene summaryAminopeptidases hydrolyze N-terminal amino acids of proteins or peptide substrates. Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules rely on aminopeptidases such as ERAP1 (MIM 606832) and LRAP to trim precursors to antigenic peptides in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) following cleavage in the cytoplasm by tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPP2; MIM 190470) (Tanioka et al., 2003 [PubMed 12799365]).[supplied by OMIM]
