Structure dissection of human progranulin identifies well‐folded granulin/epithelin modules with unique functional activities

Abstract excerpt

Progranulin is a secreted protein with important functions in several physiological and pathological processes, such as embryonic development, host defense, and wound repair. Autosomal dominant mutations in the progranulin gene cause frontotemporal dementia, while overexpression of progranulin promotes the invasive progression of a range of tumors, including those of the breast and the brain. Structurally,...
