ABC-type oligopeptide transporter ABCB9

UniProtKB accession:  Q9JJ59

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  ATP-dependent low-affinity peptide transporter which translocates a broad spectrum of peptides from the cytosol to the lysosomal lumen for degradation. Displays a broad peptide length specificity from 6-mer up to at least 59-mer peptides with an optimum of 23-mers. Binds and transports smaller and larger peptides with the same affinity. Favors positively charged, aromatic or hydrophobic residues in the N- and C-terminal positions whereas negatively charged residues as well as asparagine and methionine are not favored.
