Anti-PLSCR1

Protein function: Catalyzes calcium-induced ATP-independent rapid bidirectional and non-specific movement of phospholipids (lipid scrambling or lipid flip-flop) between the inner and outer leaflet of the plasma membrane resulting in collapse of the phospholipid asymmetry which leads to phosphatidylserine externalization on the cell surface (PubMed:9218461, PubMed:8663431, PubMed:10770950, PubMed:9572851, PubMed:9485382, PubMed:18629440, PubMed:23590222, PubMed:24648509, PubMed:24343571, PubMed:32110987, PubMed:23659204, PubMed:29748552). Mediates calcium- dependent phosphatidylserine externalization and apoptosis in neurons via its association with TRPC5. Also exhibits magnesium-dependent nuclease activity against double-stranded DNA and RNA but not single-stranded DNA and can enhance DNA decatenation mediated by TOP2A (PubMed:27206388, PubMed:17567603). Negatively regulates FcR-mediated phagocytosis in differentiated macrophages (PubMed:26745724). May contribute to cytokine-regulated cell proliferation and differentiation. May play a role in the antiviral response of interferon (IFN) by amplifying and enhancing the IFN response through increased expression of select subset of potent antiviral genes (PubMed:15308695). Acts as an attachment receptor for HCV (PubMed:21806988). [The UniProt Consortium] Buffer: 40% glycerol and PBS (pH 7.2). 0.02% sodium azide is added as preservative.
