Tap1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; TAP binding activity; and adenyl ribonucleotide binding activity. Contributes to peptide antigen binding activity. Involved in peptide transport and protection from natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity. Part of TAP complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including MHC class I deficiency; autoimmune disease (multiple); bronchial disease (multiple); diffuse scleroderma; and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human TAP1 (transporter 1, ATP binding cassette subfamily B member). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Tap1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
