AFM | Afamin; Functions as carrier for hydrophobic molecules in body fluids (Probable). Essential for the solubility and activity of lipidated Wnt family members, including WNT1, WNT2B, WNT3, WNT3A, WNT5A, WNT7A, WNT7B, WNT8, WNT9A, WNT9B, WNT10A and WNT10B. Binds vitamin E. May transport vitamin E in body fluids under conditions where the lipoprotein system is not sufficient. May be involved in the transport of vitamin E across the blood-brain barrier. Belongs to the ALB/AFP/VDB family. (599 aa) | ||||
PZP | Pregnancy zone protein; Is able to inhibit all four classes of proteinases by a unique 'trapping' mechanism. This protein has a peptide stretch, called the 'bait region' which contains specific cleavage sites for different proteinases. When a proteinase cleaves the bait region, a conformational change is induced in the protein which traps the proteinase. The entrapped enzyme remains active against low molecular weight substrates (activity against high molecular weight substrates is greatly reduced). Following cleavage in the bait region a thioester bond is hydrolyzed and mediates the c [...] (1482 aa) | ||||
C1RL | Complement C1r subcomponent-like protein; Mediates the proteolytic cleavage of HP/haptoglobin in the endoplasmic reticulum; Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. (487 aa) | ||||
PGLYRP2 | N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase; May play a scavenger role by digesting biologically active peptidoglycan (PGN) into biologically inactive fragments. Has no direct bacteriolytic activity; Belongs to the N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase 2 family. (634 aa) | ||||
CPN2 | Carboxypeptidase N subunit 2; The 83 kDa subunit binds and stabilizes the catalytic subunit at 37 degrees Celsius and keeps it in circulation. Under some circumstances it may be an allosteric modifier of the catalytic subunit. (545 aa) | ||||
CPN1 | Carboxypeptidase N catalytic chain; Protects the body from potent vasoactive and inflammatory peptides containing C-terminal Arg or Lys (such as kinins or anaphylatoxins) which are released into the circulation. (458 aa) |
