Description

The recombinant human PSAP protein is a fusion protein consists of the human PSAP protein (311-391aa) partnered with the N-terminal 6xHis tag. It was produced in the yeast. This recombinant PSAP protein's purity is greater than 90% determined by SDS-PAGE. After electrophoresis, there is a 12 kDa protein band presented on the gel.

Mutations in this gene have been associated with Gaucher disease and metachromatic leukodystrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes an isoform that is proteolytically processed. Moreover, PSAP variants in Parkinson's disease have also been reported in a large cohort study in Chinese mainland population. PSAP encodes a prosaposin protein that degrades into four active saposins (A–D). Saposins A-D localize primarily to the lysosomal compartment where they facilitate the catabolism of glycosphingolipids with short oligosaccharide groups. It has been identified that prosaposin, as closely related with mTOR signaling, mediating inflammation in atherosclerosis. Additionally, PGRN binding to PSAP facilitated lysosomal trafficking of each other. The loss of lysosomal protein PSAP-mediated neuronal death OR or nonthermal plasma-activated Ringer's lactate-triggered ferroptosis.

Target Background

Function
Saposin-A and saposin-C stimulate the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide by beta-glucosylceramidase (EC 3.2.1.45) and galactosylceramide by beta-galactosylceramidase (EC 3.2.1.46). Saposin-C apparently acts by combining with the enzyme and acidic lipid to form an activated complex, rather than by solubilizing the substrate.; Saposin-B stimulates the hydrolysis of galacto-cerebroside sulfate by arylsulfatase A (EC 3.1.6.8), GM1 gangliosides by beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) and globotriaosylceramide by alpha-galactosidase A (EC 3.2.1.22). Saposin-B forms a solubilizing complex with the substrates of the sphingolipid hydrolases.; Saposin-D is a specific sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activator (EC 3.1.4.12).; Behaves as a myelinotrophic and neurotrophic factor, these effects are mediated by its G-protein-coupled receptors, GPR37 and GPR37L1, undergoing ligand-mediated internalization followed by ERK phosphorylation signaling.; Saposins are specific low-molecular mass non-enzymic proteins, they participate in the lysosomal degradation of sphingolipids, which takes place by the sequential action of specific hydrolases.

  1. Accumulating evidence suggests that PGRN is essential for proper lysosomal function, but the precise mechanisms involved are not known. Here, we show that PGRN facilitates neuronal uptake and lysosomal delivery of prosaposin (PSAP), the precursor of saposin peptides that are essential for lysosomal glycosphingolipid degradation.
