Gene: ERAP1
Alternate names for this Gene: A-LAP|ALAP|APPILS|ARTS-1|ARTS1|ERAAP|ERAAP1|PILS-AP|PILSAP
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is an aminopeptidase involved in trimming HLA class I-binding precursors so that they can be presented on MHC class I molecules. The encoded protein acts as a monomer or as a heterodimer with ERAP2. This protein may also be involved in blood pressure regulation by inactivation of angiotensin II. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 5
Location in Chromosome : 5q15
Description of this Gene: endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
