Anti-APLP2

APLP2(Amyloid beta(A4) precursor-like protein 2), also known as CDEBP or SPERM MEMBRANE PROTEIN, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the APLP2 gene. The APLP2 gene is mapped on 11q24.3. The human amyloid precursor-like protein APLP2 is a highly conserved homolog of a sequence-specific DNA-binding mouse protein with an important function in the cell cycle. APLP2 along with APLP1 are important modulators of glucose and insulin homeostasis. APLP2 associates with antigen presentation molecules like MHC class I molecules and regulates their surface expression by enhancing endocytosis. Protein function: May play a role in the regulation of hemostasis. The soluble form may have inhibitory properties towards coagulation factors. May interact with cellular G-protein signaling pathways. May bind to the DNA 5'-GTCACATG-3'(CDEI box). Inhibits trypsin, chymotrypsin, plasmin, factor XIA and plasma and glandular kallikrein. Modulates the Cu/Zn nitric oxide-catalyzed autodegradation of GPC1 heparan sulfate side chains in fibroblasts. [The UniProt Consortium]
