Target/Specificity | ERAP2; ERAP2 antibody is human reactive. Multiple isoforms of ERAP2 are known to exist. ERAP2 antibody is predicted to not cross-react with ERAP1. |
Reconstitution & Storage | ERAP2 antibody can be stored at 4℃ for three months and -20℃, stable for up to one year. |
Precautions | ERAP2 Antibody is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | ERAP2 |
---|---|
Synonyms | LRAP |
Function | Aminopeptidase that plays a central role in peptide trimming, a step required for the generation of most HLA class I-binding peptides. Peptide trimming is essential to customize longer precursor peptides to fit them to the correct length required for presentation on MHC class I molecules. Preferentially hydrolyzes the basic residues Arg and Lys. |
Cellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitously expressed. Highly expressed in spleen and leukocytes. |

Background
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP2), a member of the peptidase M1 family, like the related protein ERAP1, plays a central role in peptide trimming, a step required for the generation of most HLA class I-binding peptides (1,2). Like ERAP1, ERAP2 is localized to the lumen of the ER and is thought to associate with ERAP1 as a heterodimer (1). Both ERAP1 and ERAP2 have been linked to several human diseases ranging from infections to autoimmunity and cancer, and may play a role in the innate immune response (reviewed in 3).
