Background

Mouse Progranulin, also known as Proepithelin, PC Cell-derived Growth Factor and Acrogranin, is a secreted protein of 572 amino acid residues. It contains seven and one half granulin repeats which are characterized by 6 disulfide bridges. Progranulin can be converted in vivo to granulins by proteolysis. Progranulin is a mitogen that stimulates proliferation and survival of various epithelial, mesenchymal and tumor cells. Several granulins have also been shown to be biologically active and may play a role in inflammation and wound healing. Mouse Progranulin shares 86% and 75% amino acid sequence homology with rat and human Progranulin, respectively.
