Gene Information from Publications

Publication Link Summary of findings
16940047 two regions shown previously to contain the cytotoxic and cytostimulatory properties of MBP are accessible for ligand interaction in cell surface-bound MBP
15647258 the proform of eosinophil major basic protein inhibits the proteolytic activity of PAPP-A
12534990 Deposits of eosinophilic MBP are found on the surface of eosinophils and damaged muscle fibers surrounded by eosinophils in patients with idiopathic eosinophilic myositis.
12202480 Transcription is regulated by novel combinatorial interactions of GATA-1, PU.1, and C/EBPepsilon isoforms.
17082653 Compared to MBP1, which is present in eosinophils, basophils, and a human mast cell line, homologous MBP2 is present only in eosinophils and may be a useful biomarker for eosinophil-associated diseases.
14988014 Proform of MPB forms a covalent complex with PAPPA in which PAPPA is inhibited.
14500673 MBP stimulates a Src kinase-dependent activation of class I(A) phosphoinositide 3-kinase and, in turn, activation of protein kinase C zeta in neutrophils, which contributes to the activation of NADPH oxidase and resultant superoxide production.
12370176 IGF bioactivity is regulated by reversible cell surface binding of PAPP-A, which in turn is regulated by proMBP
12421832 MBP's structure is described, and its ability to bind to pregnancy-associated plasma protein A explained
