TAP1 protein expression on cervical carcinoma tissue visualized by immunohistochemistry (http://proteinatlas.org).

High expression of TAP1 facilitates the transport of cytosolic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and loading of those antigenic peptides onto HLA class I (HLA-I) molecules. When cancer cells down modulate the peptide pump TAP, it gives rise to the presentation of TEIPP antigens.
