Background
attractin(ATRN) Homo sapiens This gene encodes both membrane-bound and secreted protein isoforms. A membrane-bound isoform exhibits sequence similarity with the mouse mahogany protein, a receptor involved in controlling obesity. A secreted isoform is involved in the initial immune cell clustering during inflammatory responses that may regulate the chemotactic activity of chemokines. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016],
Function
function:Involved in the initial immune cell clustering during inflammatory response and may regulate chemotactic activity of chemokines. May play a role in melanocortin signaling pathways that regulate energy homeostasis and hair color. Low-affinity receptor for agouti (By similarity). Has a critical role in normal myelination in the central nervous system.,induction:Activation of peripheral blood leukocytes with phytohemagglutinin induces strong expression of the membrane isoform followed by the release of the secreted isoform.,online information:Attractin-2,similarity:Contains 1 C-type lectin domain.,similarity:Contains 1 CUB domain.,similarity:Contains 1 EGF-like domain.,similarity:Contains 2 laminin EGF-like domains.,similarity:Contains 6 Kelch repeats.,tissue specificity:Expressed and secreted by activated T lymphocytes. Expressed at low to moderate levels in peripheral blood leuko

Cellular localization
[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein .; [Isoform 2]: Secreted .; [Isoform 3]: Secreted .
Tissue expression
Isoform 2 is detected in plasma (at protein level). Expressed and secreted by activated T-lymphocytes. Expressed at low to moderate levels in peripheral blood leukocytes, spleen, lymph node, tonsil, bone marrow and fetal liver. At very low levels found in thymus. Isoform 2 is the major isoform in peripheral blood leukocytes.
