Background: Pappalysin-1/PAPP-A

Pappalysins belong to a fifth family of metzincins that consists of ADAMs/ADAMTSs, MMPs, astacins and serrylysins (1). PAPP-A is an important pregnancy protein and increases in plasma by a factor of about 150 during pregnancy as compared to the nonpregnant state. PAPP-A is also a major marker of Down syndrome in the first trimester of pregnancy because maternal serum levels of PAPP‑A are significantly reduced when a fetus affected by Down syndrome is present (2). PAPP-A cleaves Insulin-like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-4 and -5 (IGFBP-4 and -5) at a single site, resulting in the release of bioactive IGF (3). Lack of IGFBP-4 cleavage in embryonic fibroblasts derived from PAPP-A knockout mice indicates that PAPP-A functions as a physiological IGFBP-4 protease (4). Three Lin12-Notch repeats (LNR) in the PAPP-A protein bind Ca2+­­­­ and are required for the cleavage of IGFBP-4, but not IGFBP-5, by PAPP-A (5). As an active protease, recombinant human (rh) PAPP-A cleaves IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-5. This full-length rhPAPP-A, which contains the five C-terminal Sushi domains, is approximately 9-fold more active for cleavage of IGFBP-5 than the C-terminally truncated rhPAPP-A (Catalog # http://www.rndsystems.com/product_results.aspx?k=2487‑ZN">2487‑ZN).
