epitope corresponding to amino acids 1-223 representing full length EMBP of mouse origin
Modification Notes
The eosinophil major basic protein (EMBP), also designated MBP, PRG2, proteoglycan 2, BMPG, or bone marrow natural killer cell activator, is a constituent of the crystalline core of the eosinophil granule. High levels of the pro-EMBP are present in placenta and pregnancy serum, where it exists as a complex with several other proteins including pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA), angiotensinogen (AGT) and C3dg. EMBP may influence antiparasitic defense mechanisms as a cytotoxin and helminthotoxin, and may play a role in immune hypersensitivity reactions. EMBP stimulates an Src kinase-dependent activation of class I (A) phosphoinositide 3-kinase and, in turn, activation of protein kinase C Ω in neutrophils. EMBP transcription is under regulation by novel combinatorial interactions of GATA-1, PU.1, and C/EBPé isoforms.
