Background: ACLP

Aortic carboxypeptidase-like protein (ACLP), also known as adipocyte enhancer binding protein (AEBP1) (1, 2), is a secreted ECM-associated protein expressed primarily by perivascular and vascular cells and is up-regulated in activated vascular cells following vascular injury (3). Pro-ACLP is composed of an N-terminal signal sequence that is cleaved off in the mature form, a Lys/Pro rich motif (aa 47-326), a Glu rich motif (aa 1079-1136), a collagen binding discoidin-like domain (aa 383-540) and a peptidase-like domain (aa 560-942) (4, 5). Mature human ACLP shares 84% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat ACLP. In the liver, ACLP is specifically expressed in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). Although unrelated to WNT proteins, ACLP can specifically bind to Frizzled-8 and Lrp6 to form a ternary complex to activate the canonical WNT pathway and exacerbates nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) pathology, indicating that NASH can be treated by targeting ACLP (6). Diseases associated with ACLP-1 include Ehlers-Danlos syndrome classic-like 2 (EDSCLL2) (7) and gastroschisis. Over-expression of ACLP-1 is associated with glioblastoma (8).
