V-set and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 8(VSIG8) is a single-pass type I membrane protein.The human VSIG8 cDNA encodes 414 amino acids (aa) including a 21 aa signal sequence; a 242 aa extracellular domain (ECD) containing 2 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains; a 21 aa transmembrane domain and a 130 aa cytoplasmic domain.The funtion of VSIG8 is not clear.
Visinin-Like Protein 1 (VILIP) is a a member of the Visinin/Recoverin subfamily of neuronal calcium sensor proteins. VILIP is strongly expressed in the Granule Cells of the Cerebellum where it associates with membranes in a Calcium-dependent manner and modulates intracellular signaling pathways of the central nervous system by directly or indirectly regulating the activity of Adenylyl Cyclase. It has been shown that VILIP regulates the inhibition of rhodopsin phosphorylation in a Calcium-dependent manner in vitro.
V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 1 is a single-pass membrane protein. VSTM1 Contains 1 Ig-like V-type domain, in humans is encoded by the VSTM1 gene. It expressed on myeloid (neutrophils, eosinophils and monocytes) but not on lymphoid cells. It behaves as a cytokine, promoting IL17A secretion by CD4+ T-cells, and differentiation and activation of IL17 producing helper T-cells (TH17). Inhibitory immune receptor involved in the regulation of phagocytes.
VSTM2A, also called VSTM2, is short for V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 2A. It is a 236 aa. protein which can be departed into two parts. The first 24 aa. is a signal peptide, and the last is a V-set and transmembrane domain-containing protein 2A. There is a natural variant location which is E84K.
Brorin; also known as brain-specific chordin-like protein; von Willebrand factor C domain-containing protein 2 and VWC2; is a secreted protein which contains twoVWFC domains. VWC2 / Brorin is a BMP antagonist which may play a role in neural development. It promotes cell adhesion. VWC2 / Brorin is a unique member of the chordin family. It inhibited the activity of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and BMP6 in mouse preosteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. Mouse Brorin was predominantly expressed in neural tissues in embryos and also predominantly expressed in the adult brain. In the brain; the expression was detected in neurons; but not glial cells. The neural tissue-specific expression profile of Brorin is quite distinct from that of any other member of the Chordin family. VWC2 / Brorin protein promoted neurogenesis; but not astrogenesis; in mouse neural precursor cells. VWC2 / Brorin is a novel secreted BMP antagonist that potentially plays roles in neural development and functions.
Cleaves the vWF multimers in plasma into smaller forms thereby controlling vWF-mediated platelet thrombus formation.Zinc and calcium ions cooperatively modulate enzyme activity. The cleavage of the pro-domain is not required for protease activity. Dependence on calcium for proteolytic activity is mediated by the high affinity site.
