Other Information

**Key Characteristics** PRG3 is a proteoglycan that exhibits a unique structure, consisting of a core protein linked to a GAG chain. The core protein is composed of three domains: the N-terminal domain, the C-terminal domain, and the central domain. The GAG chain is composed of repeating units of galactose and glucuronic acid. PRG3 is also known as pro-eosinophil major basic protein 2 due to its association with eosinophil granules and its role in eosinophil activation. **Pathways and Functions** PRG3 is involved in various biological pathways, including: 1. **Immune Response**: PRG3 plays a crucial role in the regulation of immune responses, particularly in the activation of eosinophils and the modulation of inflammation. 2. **Extracellular Matrix Maintenance**: PRG3 is involved in the maintenance of the extracellular matrix, particularly in the regulation of collagen synthesis and degradation. 3. **Cell Signaling**: PRG3 interacts with various signaling molecules, including growth factors and cytokines, to regulate cell growth, differentiation, and survival. 4. **Innate Immunity**: PRG3 is expressed in the innate immune system, where it plays a role in the recognition and elimination of pathogens. PRG3 functions as a chemoattractant, a chemokine, and a cytokine, influencing the behavior of various immune cells, including eosinophils, neutrophils, and dendritic cells. It also regulates the expression of other genes involved in immune responses, including those involved in inflammation and tissue repair. **Clinical Significance** Dysregulation of PRG3 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Allergic Disorders**: PRG3 is involved in the regulation of eosinophil activation and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, making it a potential target for the treatment of allergic disorders. 2. **Autoimmune Disorders**: PRG3 dysregulation has been implicated in autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, where it may contribute to tissue damage and inflammation. 3. **Cancer**: PRG3 has been shown to promote tumor growth and metastasis, suggesting its potential role as a cancer biomarker and therapeutic target. 4. **Neurological Disorders**: PRG3 has been implicated in neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, where it may contribute to inflammation and tissue damage. In conclusion, PRG3 is a multifunctional protein that plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including immune responses, extracellular matrix maintenance, and cell signaling. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting the need for further research into the mechanisms and therapeutic potential of PRG3.
