epitope mapping within an internal region of glypican-5 of human origin
Modification Notes
Glypicans are thought to activate or control the activity of morphogens and growth factors, thereby influencing cellular division, regulation of cell growth and differentiation. Neuronal growth and repair are also thought to be controlled by glypicans. Glypican-5 is also known as GPC5 and is a 572 amino acid protein. Glypican-5 is primarily expressed in adult brain tissue (where it is localized to neurons), but is also detected in fetal brain, lung and liver. Glypican-5 is a member of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS), which is characterized as having a core protein that is able to use glycosyl phosphatidylinositol to attach to the cytoplasmic membrane. Upregulation of glypican-5 has been found in active multiple sclerosis plaques, suggesting that glypican-5 may be involved in pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. Upregulation of glypican-5 has also been recognized as having a strong correlation with lymphomas, as well as other tumors.
