| UniProt code: Q62170. |
| Organism: | Mus musculus (Mouse). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus. | |
| Function: | A SLe(x)-type proteoglycan, which through high affinity, calcium-dependent interactions with E- and P-selectins, mediates rapid rolling of leukocytes over vascular surfaces during the initial steps in inflammation. Critical for the initial leukocyte capture. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11104809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12370362, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17442598}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Interacts with P- and E- selectins, through their lectin/EGF domains. Interaction with P- selectin requires sialyl Lewis X glycan modification and tyrosine sulfation, probably on Tyr-54, for high affinity binding (By similarity). Dimerization appears not to be required for P- selectin/SELP binding (By similarity). Interacts with SNX20 (By similarity). Interacts with MSN and SYK; mediates SYK activation downstream of SELPLG (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Highly expressed in blood, bone marrow, brain, adipose tissue, spleen, and thymus. Also expressed in heart, kidney, liver, muscle, ovary, and stomach. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8639776}. | |
| Ptm: | Displays complex, core-2, sialylated and fucosylated O-linked oligosaccharides, at least some of which appear to contain poly-N- acetyllactosamine with varying degrees of substitution. Mainly disialylated or neutral forms of the core-2 tetrasaccharide, Galbeta1-->4GlcNAcbeta1-->6(Galbeta1-->3)GalNAcOH. The GlcN:GalN ratio is approximately 2:1 and the Man:Fuc ratio 3:5. Contains about 14% fucose with alpha-1,3 linkage present in two forms: One species is a disialylated, monofucosylated glycan, and the other, a monosialylated, trifucosylated glycan with a polylactosamine backbone. The fucosylated forms carry the Lewis antigen and are important for interaction with selectins and for functioning. No sulfated O-glycans. Some N- glycosylation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. | |
