Background:  Cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPs) represent a family of evolutionarily conserved proteins that may play a role in the innate immune system and are transcriptionally regulated by androgens in several tissues. GAPR-1 (Golgi-associated plant pathogenesis-related protein 1), also known as GLIPR2, is a 154 amino acid lipid anchor protein belonging to the CRISP family. GAPR-1 also shares similarity with the pathogenesis-related protein (PR) superfamily, and may play an important role in the immune system. Existing as a homodimer, GAPR-1 is highly expressed in lung and peripheral leukocytes with minor expression in liver and kidney. Containing a conserved sperm-coating protein (SCP) domain, GAPR-1 binds to negatively charged lipids and may be involved in the differentiation of epithelial cells into mesenchymal cells. Increased expression of GAPR-1 in kidney may contribute to the development of fibrosis.
