Calumenin interacts with serum amyloid P component

Abstract: We recently reported the identification of human calumenin, a novel Ca 2+ binding, transformation-sensitive and secreted protein [Vorum et al. (1998)

“…cytokines and growth factors in activated Schwann cells. In addition, CALU and RCN2 have been implicated in calciumdependent cell adhesion (55) and CALU in immunological defense (56). Whether these alternative functions of RCN2 and CALU are of importance for peripheral nerve regeneration remains to be established.…”

“…60 It has, however, been shown to bind to serum amyloid P component, which is also released from platelets (Table 2). 61 Calumenin inhibits the activity of vitamin K-dependent ␥-carboxylation 62 responsible for the activation of coagulation factors and proteins such as matrix Gla protein (MGP). 63 Both calumenin and warfarin target the enzyme vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKOR), an integral membrane complex, which converts vitamin K to its hydroquinone form, a cofactor for the enzyme ␥-carboxylase, thus inhibiting the ␥-carboxylation.…”

“…Serum amyloid P component (SAP) was the first protein reported to interact with calumenin in Ca 2+ -dependent fashion (32). This interaction indicates that calumenin may participate in the immunological defense response and could be involved http://bmbreports.org BMB reports in amyloidosis that causes amyloid deposition in different types of tissues.…”
