Function
Involved in the association of MHC class I with transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) and in the assembly of MHC class I with peptide (peptide loading).
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Neutrophils, mostly in fully differentiated cells
Disease Association: MHC class I deficiency 3 (MHC1D3) : An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by glomerulonephritis and markedly reduced cell surface expression of class I HLA antigens. Additional features are herpes zoster infection and polyps of the stomach and colon. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
