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).1) Saveanu L, Carroll O, Lindo V, et al.

Immunogen
ERAP2 antibody was raised against a 17 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human ERAP2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 110 - 160 of ERAP2 .
