(Glutamyl Aminopeptidase (Aminopeptidase A) (ENPEP))
BP1, also known as Ly51/6C3 antigen, is a type II homodimeric transmembrane glycoprotein formed by two disulfide-linked chains of 140 kDa. (Ref.1,2) Originally identified on the surface of pre-B cell lymphomas (Ref.1,3) the cDNA encoding BP1 has been cloned and found to represent Aminopeptidase A. (Ref.4,5) It is expressed at high levels on bone marrow stromal cell lines which support in vitro B lymphopoiesis and on a wide variety of Mouse tissues known to possess aminopeptidase activity. (Ref.6-8) Subsets of normal bone marrow pre-B and B cells express low levels of BP1, which is rapidly upregulated on pre-B cells in the presence of IL-7. (Ref.9,10) The BP1 marker is commonly used to identify B cells in different stages of development. (Ref.11)Synonyms: Aminopeptidase A, Differentiation antigen gp160, EAP, ENPEP
