  ID: PAPP1_MOUSE
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Pappalysin-1; EC=3.4.24.79; AltName: Full=Insulin-like growth factor-dependent IGF-binding protein 4 protease; Short=IGF-dependent IGFBP-4 protease; Short=IGFBP-4ase; AltName: Full=Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A; Short=PAPP-A; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: Metalloproteinase which specifically cleaves IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5, resulting in release of bound IGF. Cleavage of IGFBP-4 is dramatically enhanced by the presence of IGF, whereas cleavage of IGFBP-5 is slightly inhibited by the presence of IGF. Isoform 2 cleaves IGFBP-4 very slowly compared to PAPP-A, but its ability to cleave IGFBP-5 is unaffected.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Cleavage of the 135-Met-|-Lys-136 bond in insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP)-4, and the 143- Ser-|-Lys-144 bond in IGFBP-5.
COFACTOR: Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit (By similarity).
SUBUNIT: Homodimer; disulfide-linked. In pregnancy serum, predominantly found as a disulfide-linked 2:2 heterotetramer with the proform of PRG2 (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Detected in kidney, spleen, brain, ovary, breast, skin, prostate, uterus, and placenta.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the peptidase M43B family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 5 Sushi (CCP/SCR) domains.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

ModBase Predicted Comparative 3D Structure on Q8R4K8
FrontTopSide
The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
