UniProt Protein Function: | ABCB9: ATP-dependent low-affinity peptide transporter which translocates a broad spectrum of peptides from the cytosol to the lysosomal lumen. Displays a broad peptide length specificity from 6-mer up to at least 59-mer peptides with an optimum of 23-mers. Favors positively charged, aromatic or hydrophobic residues in the N- and C-terminal positions whereas negatively charged residues as well as asparagine and methionine are not favored. Belongs to the ABC transporter superfamily. ABCB family. MHC peptide exporter (TC 3.A.1.209) subfamily. 5 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.Protein type: Transporter, ABC family; Membrane protein, multi-pass; Membrane protein, integral; TransporterChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q24Cellular Component: lysosomal membrane; lysosome; endoplasmic reticulum; early endosome; integral to membrane; integral to endoplasmic reticulum membraneMolecular Function: protein binding; protein homodimerization activity; substrate-specific transmembrane transporter activity; ATP binding; peptide-transporting ATPase activityBiological Process: peptide transport; antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen via MHC class I; protein transport; metabolic process; transmembrane transport |

NCBI Summary: | The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the MDR/TAP subfamily. Members of the MDR/TAP subfamily are involved in multidrug resistance as well as antigen presentation. This family member functions in the translocation of peptides from the cytosol into the lysosomal lumen. Alternative splicing of this gene results in distinct isoforms which are likely to have different substrate specificities. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2011] |
