background

Plasmalemma vesicle-associated protein (PLVAP, also called PV-1) is the only protein that forms endothelial diaphragms. PLVAP expression is very low in the normal blood-retinal barrier; however, pathological factors such as high glucose and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) induce its expression, leading to the exacerbation of cellular permeability. Because the new blood vessels are fragile and leaky, PLVAP could possibly be considered a therapeutic target against retinovascular diseases.

molecular weight

The protein has a predicted MW of 45.97 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 50-70 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Function
Endothelial cell-specific membrane protein involved in the formation of the diaphragms that bridge endothelial fenestrae. It is also required for the formation of stomata of caveolae and transendothelial channels. Functions in microvascular permeability, endothelial fenestrae contributing to the passage of water and solutes and regulating transcellular versus paracellular flow in different organs. Plays a specific role in embryonic development.
Subellular location
Cell membrane ; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Membrane, caveola ; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Note=Membrane-associated protein of caveolae. Found in fenestral and stomatal diaphragms in fenestrated endothelia and transendothelial channels. Also colocalized with CAV1 in perinuclear region.
Tissues
Expressed in lung, kidney, heart, aorta, placenta, muscle, pituitary gland, adrenals, mammary gland, bladder, lymph node, bone marrow, trachea, digestive tract, liver and tumor-associated endothelium.
Structure
Homodimer.
