TAP2
The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance. This gene is located 7 kb telomeric to gene family member ABCB2. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in antigen presentation. This protein forms a heterodimer with ABCB2 in order to transport peptides from the cytoplasm to the endoplasmic reticulum. Mutations in this gene may be associated with ankylosing spondylitis, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, and celiac disease. Alternative splicing of this gene produces products which differ in peptide selectivity and level of restoration of surface expression of MHC class I molecules.

Interaction
Heterodimer of TAP1 and TAP2 (TAP1-TAP2) (PubMed:1538751). A component of the peptide loading complex (PLC), interacts via TAPBP with MHCI heterodimer; this interaction mediates peptide-MHCI assembly (PubMed:26611325). Recruits TAPBP in a 1:1 stoichiometry (PubMed:22638925). Interacts with classical MHCI such as HLA-A*02-B2M; this interaction is obligatory for the loading of peptide epitopes (PubMed:8805302, PubMed:8630735). Interacts with non-classical MHCI molecules including HLA-E-B2M and HLA-F-B2M as well as PLC component CALR before the peptide loading (PubMed:9427624, PubMed:10605026). (Microbial infection) Interacts with Epstein-Barr virus BLNF2a. (Microbial infection) Interacts with herpes simplex virus US12/ICP47. (Microbial infection) Interacts with adenovirus E3-19K glycoprotein, which binds TAP1-TAP2 and acts as a TAPBP inhibitor, preventing TAP1-TAP2 association with MHCI.
