SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
text	secreted

basic FUNCTION	implicated in transmembrane signal transduction, cell activation, and cell adhesion
	having a biological role in the epidermis to provide fine tuning of the physiologic regulation of keratinocytes functions through the cholinergic pathways
	may be involved in regulating lymphocyte function via CHRNA-mediated pathways
	its expression in airway epithelial cells is down-regulated by the presence of interleukin IL13, which is abundant in asthmatic airways and plays a key role in the pathogenesis of asthma
	positive allosteric modulator of CHRNA7 signaling, that may mitigate such remodeling of the airway epithelium and diminish production of pro-inflammatory cytokines mediated via CHRNA7

PATHWAY

metabolism

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein

binds to CHRNA7 and enhances the amplitude of macroscopic currents induced by acetylcholine, leading to facilitation of apoptosis

Type Gene Modification Chromosome rearrangement Protein expression Protein Function tumoral     --low   decreased due to gene silencing of different nAChR alpha subunits with small hairpin RNA, suggesting that a positive feedback regulation is altered in malignant cells constitutional     --low   in asthma attenuates its negative regulation of airway inflammation constitutional     --low   in asthma likely disrupts epithelial homeostasis, leading to remodeling of the bronchial epithelium and greater susceptibility to infections, such as influenza and pneumonia

Variant & Polymorphism

Candidate gene
Marker	changes in SLURP1 expression could serve as a marker of airway damage in asthma
