Anti-DMBT1 (Deleted in Malignant Brain Tumors 1 Protein, Apactin, CRP-ductin, Glycoprotein 300, gp30

DMBT1 (Deleted in malignant brain tumor-1, also MUCLIN, Hensin, CRP-Ductin and gp300/350) is a 230-350kD member of the DMBT1 family of molecules. It is expressed by select cell types including macrophages, intestinal epithelium, and pancreatic acinar cells. DMBT1 is both a transmembrane (TM) and secreted protein, and possesses multiple activities that may be predicated on multimerization. It drives epithelial differentiation, binds Gm+ and Gm- bacteria, and associates with cytoskeletal actin. Mouse DMBT1 is a type I TM glycoprotein that is 2085aa in length. Its extracellular region contains eight SRCR repeats (aa31-980, plus 1510-1610), five CUB domains (aa1023-1490, plus 1633-1742), and a ZP segment (aa1751-1999). Multiple splice variants exist. There are deletions of aa584-733, 397-534, 593-731 and 2032-2085 (within the TM segment), plus an insertion of 11aa after Asp29. Over aa215-420, mouse DMBT1 shares 75% identity with human DMBT1.
