WFIKKN2 WAP, follistatin/kazal, immunoglobulin, kunitz and netrin domain containing 2 [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: WFIKKN2provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: WAP, follistatin/kazal, immunoglobulin, kunitz and netrin domain containing 2provided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:30916

Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: GASP-1; WFDC20B; hGASP-1; WFIKKNRP
Summary: The WFIKKN1 protein contains a WAP domain, follistatin domain, immunoglobulin domain, two tandem Kunitz domains, and an NTR domain. This gene encodes a WFIKKN1-related protein which has the same domain organization as the WFIKKN1 protein. The WAP-type, follistatin type, Kunitz-type, and NTR-type protease inhibitory domains may control the action of multiple types of proteases. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

What's a GeneRIF?

In this review, we summarize current knowledge about the WFIKKN proteins and propose that they are "companion" proteins for various growth factors by providing localized and sustained presentation of TGFB proteins to their respective receptors, thus regulating the balance between the activation of Smad and non-Smad pathways by TGFB.
Title: WFIKKN1 and WFIKKN2: "Companion" proteins regulating TGFB activity.
WFIKKN2 expression is significantly downregulated in human masticatory mucosa during wound healing
Title: Human gingiva transcriptome during wound healing.
Data suggest that myostatin binding to its receptor (activin receptors type II) can be blocked by WFIKKN1 but not WFIKKN2; various forms of myostatin (promyostatin, myostatin pro-domain, and latent/processed myostatin) bind WFIKKN1 but not WFIKKN2.
Title: Latent myostatin has significant activity and this activity is controlled more efficiently by WFIKKN1 than by WFIKKN2.
After eccentric exercise, postmenopausal women not using hormone therapy (HT) expressed higher levels of GASP-1 while postmenopausal women using HT showed a significant increased expression over controls.
Title: Hormone therapy and maximal eccentric exercise alters myostatin-related gene expression in postmenopausal women.
data indicate that WFIKKN proteins are antagonists of GDF8 and GDF11, but in the case of TGFbeta1, BMP2 and BMP4 they function as growth factor binding proteins
Title: WFIKKN1 and WFIKKN2 bind growth factors TGFβ1, BMP2 and BMP4 but do not inhibit their signalling activity.
Creatine supplementation in conjunction with resistance training lead to greater decreases in serum myostatin (p<0.05), but had not additional effect on GASP-1 (p>0.05).

Both WFIKKN1 and WFIKKN2 have high affinity for growth and differentiation factors 8 and 11.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
