General description

Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (UniProt Q9NZ08; also known as A-LAP, Adipocyte-derived leucine aminopeptidase, Aminopeptidase PILS, ARTS-1, Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase associated with antigen processing, PILS-AP, Puromycin-insensitive leucyl-specific aminopeptidase, Type 1 tumor necrosis factor receptor shedding aminopeptidase regulator) is encoded by the ERAP1 (also known as ALAP, APPILS, ARTS1, ERAAP, ERAAP1, KIAA0525, PILSAP) gene (ORF UNQ584/PRO1154; Gene ID 51752) in human. Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 (ERAP1) is a single transmembrane protein belonging to the M1 family of zinc metallopeptidases. ERAP1 consists of an N-terminal transmembrane segment (a.a. 2-21) and a large lumenal domain (a.a. 22-941), with only the N-terminus methionine exposed cytoplasmically. ERAP1 processes peptides for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I presentation and promotes ectodomain shedding of several cytokine receptors, including TNF-R1, IL-6R alpha chain, and IL-1 type II decoy receptor (IL-1RII). Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a common, highly heritable form of inflammatory arthritis. Several ERAP1 single nucleotide polymorphic (SNP) variants are reported to influence the risk of AS in individuals carrying class I MHC allele HLA-B*27 and HLA-B*40:01.
