    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION
    basic FUNCTION
  • mediator of injury to parasites and tissues in allergy inflammation
  • brain-specific integral membrane protein implicated in neuronal plasticity, such as filopodia formation and axon growth after brain lesion (Broggini 2010)
  • phospholipid-interacting molecule, important for thalamocortical axon guidance
  • bioactive phospholipids and PRG2 are critical for guiding thalamic axons to their proper cortical targets

    small molecule
    protein
  • detaches surface-bound PAPPA in a process that depends on the PRG2 GAG and also on the formation of intermolecular disulfide bonds between PAPPA and PRG2
  • RDX is a PRG2 interaction partner and radixin accumulation in growth cones and its LPA-dependent phosphorylation depend on its binding to specific regions within the C-terminal region of PRG2
