Recombinant Human Secreted Ly-6/uPAR-related protein 1 (SLURP1)

Uniprot Id

P55000

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SLURP1

Target Full Name

Secreted Ly-6/uPAR-related protein 1

Target Function

Has an antitumor activity. Was found to be a marker of late differentiation of the skin. Implicated in maintaining the physiological and structural integrity of the keratinocyte layers of the skin. In vitro down-regulates keratinocyte proliferation; the function may involve the proposed role as modulator of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) activity. In vitro inhibits alpha-7-dependent nAChR currents in an allosteric manner. In T cells may be involved in regulation of intracellular Ca(2+) signaling. Seems to have an immunomodulatory function in the cornea. The function may implicate a possible role as a scavenger receptor for PLAU thereby blocking PLAU-dependent functions of PLAUR such as in cell migration and proliferation.

Target Involvement

Mal de Meleda (MDM)

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted.

Target Tissue Specificity

Granulocytes. Expressed in skin. Predominantly expressed in the granular layer of skin, notably the acrosyringium. Identified in several biological fluids such as sweat, saliva, tears, plasma and urine.

Target Research Area

Cardiovascular

Target Synonyms

SLURP1; ARS; Secreted Ly-6/uPAR-related protein 1; SLURP-1; ARS component B; ARS(component B)-81/S; Anti-neoplastic urinary protein; ANUP

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Ly6/uPAR family but lacks a GPI-anchoring signal sequence. It is thought that this secreted protein contains antitumor activity. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Mal de Meleda, a rare autosomal recessive skin disorder. This gene maps to the same chromosomal region as several members of the Ly6/uPAR family of glycoprotein receptors.
