Stability & Storage

Background: Vasorin/SLIT-like 2

Vasorin, also known as SLIT-like 2, is an approximately 110 kDa transmembrane protein that is expressed on vascular smooth muscle cells and in the developing skeletal system (1, 2). It is down-regulated following vascular injury (1). A 95 kDa soluble form of Vasorin can be shed from the cell surface by ADAM17 mediated cleavage (3). The shed soluble form of Vasorin binds to TGF-beta 1, 2, and 3 and prevents TGF-beta induced effects including intimal formation and epithelial mesenchymal transition (1, 3). Soluble Vasorin is elevated in the serum of hepatic carcinoma patients relative to normal or non-cancerous hepatic disease (4). It promotes tumor cell proliferation, migration, and survival (4). Mature mouse Vasorin consists of a 552 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with 10 leucine rich repeats (LRR) flanked by one LRRNT and one LRRCT domain, one EGF-like domain, and one Fibronectin type-III domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 76 aa cytoplasmic domain (1). Within the ECD, mouse Vasorin shares 85% and 96% aa sequence identity with human and rat Vasorin, respectively.
