Recombinant Human Plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein (PLVAP), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q9BX97

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PLVAP

Target Full Name

Plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein

Target Function

Endothelial cell-specific membrane protein involved in the formation of the diaphragms that bridge endothelial fenestrae. It is also required for the formation of stomata of caveolae and transendothelial channels. Functions in microvascular permeability, endothelial fenestrae contributing to the passage of water and solutes and regulating transcellular versus paracellular flow in different organs. Plays a specific role in embryonic development.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Membrane, caveola; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in lung, kidney, heart, aorta, placenta, muscle, pituitary gland, adrenals, mammary gland, bladder, lymph node, bone marrow, trachea, digestive tract, liver and tumor-associated endothelium.

Target Background

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in MAPK cascade; positive regulation of cellular extravasation; and tumor necrosis factor-mediated signaling pathway. Located in cell surface. Colocalizes with caveola. Implicated in congenital diarrhea.
