The TAPBP gene is located near the MHC complex on chromosome 6p21.3. TAPBPL is a member of the Ig superfamily that is localized on chromosome 12p13.3, a region somewhat paralogous to the MHC.[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008] Expression Ubiquitous expression in duodenum (RPKM 8.1), small intestine (RPKM 7.3) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
