Product Specific Literature References
Protease-protease inhibitor balance in the gastric mucosa. Influence of Helicobacter pylori infection: M. Nilius, et al.; Adv. Exp. Med. Biol. 477, 445 (2000) Abstract
General Information
Secretory leukoprotease inhibitor (SLPI) is a low molecular weight serine proteinase inhibitor found on various mucosal surfaces and has been ascribed an important role in maintaining the protease-anti-protease balance of the airways. SLPI is produced by various epithelia and also possibly by neutrophils, mast cells and macrophages. Various studies have demonstrated the importance of serine proteinase inhibitors in regulating the activity of serine proteinases that are released by leukocytes during inflammation. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are able to up-regulate SPLI production in macrophages and addition of recombinant SLPI to human monocytes can down-regulate pro-inflammatory mediators such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), presumably to limit self-damaging excessive inflammation. SLPI may also have a broad spectrum antibiotic activity that includes antiretroviral (e.g. HIV), bactericidal and antifungal activity.
SLPI is a cationic, non-glycosylated 11.7kDa protein (107aa)comprising two domains (trypsin inhibitory domain, aa26-83 and elastase inhibitory domain, aa84-132). Its major target is thought to be the human neutrophil elastase, but SLPI also inhibits the neutrophil proteinase cathepsin G, pancreatic trypsin and chymotrypsin, as well as mast cell chymase and tryptase.

Low plasma progranulin levels predict progranulin mutations in frontotemporal lobar degeneration: R. Ghidoni, et al.; Neurology 71, 1235 (2008) Abstract
General Information
Progranulin (PGRN) has been shown to be a widely expressed pluripotent growth factor which plays a role in processes such as development, wound repair and inflammation by activating signalling cascades that control cell cycle progression and cell motility. PGRN has also been linked to tumorigenesis. The function of PGRN in the central nervous system (CNS) is also of interest, because mutations in the PGRN gene have been identified in cases of frontotemporal degeneration (FTD).
