Anti-Granulin antibody [RP23040042],Abcam,AB308026

Target data The protein expressed by the GRN gene is a secreted regulator of lysosomal function and a growth factor involved in processes such as inflammation, wound healing, and cell proliferation. It regulates protein trafficking to lysosomes and lysosomal enzyme activity, facilitating lysosomal acidification which leads to the degradation of mature CTSD by CTSB. It also promotes epithelial cell proliferation by blocking TNF-mediated neutrophil activation, thus preventing the release of oxidants and proteases. Additionally, it modulates inflammation in neurons by preserving neuron survival, axonal outgrowth, and neuronal integrity. Granulin-3, -4, and -7 have distinct roles : Granulin-4 promotes proliferation of epithelial cell line A431 in culture; Granulin-3 inhibits epithelial cell proliferation and induces IL-8 secretion; and Granulin-7 stabilizes CTSD by maintaining its aspartic-type peptidase activity through interaction.
