Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells. Immature DCs efficiently capture antigens and differentiate into interdigitating dendritic cells (IDCs) in lymphoid tissues that induce primary T-cell responses (summary by de Saint-Vis et al., 1998 [PubMed 9768752]).[supplied by OMIM, Dec 2010],function:Might change the lysosome function after the transfer of peptide-MHC class II molecules to the surface of dendritic cells.,similarity:Belongs to the LAMP family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in lymphoid organs and dendritic cells. Expressed in lung. Up-regulated in carcinomas of the esophagus, colon, rectum, ureter, stomach, breast, fallopian tube, thyroid and parotid tissues.,
