On the protein level the following designations are being used for antigen TAP Binding Protein (Tapasin):

tapasin – TAP-associated protein – TAP binding protein – Tapasin – TAP binding protein (tapasin)

TAP Binding Protein (Tapasin) fulfills a number of functions:

MHC class I protein binding – TAP1 binding – TAP2 binding – peptide antigen binding – peptide antigen-transporting ATPase activity – unfolded protein binding – structural constituent of ribosome

TAP Binding Protein (Tapasin) is relevant to the following processes:

antigen processing and presentation of endogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I – immune response – peptide antigen stabilization – protein complex assembly – retrograde vesicle-mediated transport, Golgi to ER – antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I, TAP-dependent – defense response – translation

Locations for TAP Binding Protein (Tapasin):

Golgi membrane – MHC class I peptide loading complex – endoplasmic reticulum – endoplasmic reticulum membrane – integral to membrane – membrane – microsome – integral to plasma membrane – intracellular – ribosome
