Recombinant Human Gamma-interferon-inducible lysosomal thiol reductase (IFI30)

Uniprot Id

P13284

Target Species

Human

Target Name

IFI30

Target Full Name

Gamma-interferon-inducible lysosomal thiol reductase

Target Function

Lysosomal thiol reductase that can reduce protein disulfide bonds. May facilitate the complete unfolding of proteins destined for lysosomal degradation. Plays an important role in antigen processing. Facilitates the generation of MHC class II-restricted epitodes from disulfide bond-containing antigen by the endocytic reduction of disulfide bonds. Facilitates also MHC class I-restricted recognition of exogenous antigens containing disulfide bonds by CD8+ T-cells or crosspresentation.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted. Lysosome.

Target Protein Families

GILT family

Target Research Area

Immunology

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a lysosomal thiol reductase that at low pH can reduce protein disulfide bonds. The enzyme is expressed constitutively in antigen-presenting cells and induced by gamma-interferon in other cell types. This enzyme has an important role in MHC class II-restricted antigen processing.
