Rabbit Anti-ANUP/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
SLURP1, also known as MDM, ARS, ANUP (anti-neoplastic urinary protein), LY6LS or ArsB (ARS component B), is a 103 amino acid secreted protein that exists as a homodimer possessing antitumor activity. Found in esophagus, stomach, exocervix, gums, urine, sweat, saliva, plasma and tears, SLURP1 is most highly expressed in the acrosyringium of the granular layer of skin, where it helps maintain the structure of the keratinocyte layers of the skin. Also considered a marker for late skin differentiation, SLURP1 contains one UPAR/Ly6 domain and is the cause of an autosomal recessive disorder of the skin known as Mal de Meleda (MDM). MDM Is characterized by nail abnormalities, keratotic skin lesions, transgressive palmoplantar keratoderma (PPK), perioral erythema and may sometimes include hyperhidrosis.
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.
Subunit:
Homodimer.
Subcellular Location:
Secreted.
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.
DISEASE:
Defects in SLURP1 are a cause of Mal de Meleda (MDM) [MIM:248300]; also known as keratosis palmoplantaris transgradiens of Siemens. MDM is a rare autosomal recessive skin disorder, characterized by diffuse transgressive palmoplantar keratoderma with keratotic lesions extending onto the dorsa of the hands and the feet (transgrediens). Patients may have hyperhidrosis. Other features include perioral erythema, lichenoid plaques on the knees and the elbows, and nail abnormalities.
Similarity:
Contains 1 UPAR/Ly6 domain.
