Background: GASP-1/WFIKKN2
WAP, follistatin, Kazal and netrin domains are all implicated in protease inhibition, and these proteins may be multivalent protease inhibitors (3). GASP-1 and -2 show distinct expression patterns both in the developing fetus and the adult. In the developing fetus, GASP‑1 expression is highest in the brain, skeletal muscle, thymus and kidney while GASP-2 is abundant in the lung, skeletal muscle and liver (4). In the adult, GASP-1 is primarily expressed in the ovary, testis, and brain while GASP-2 is in the pancreas, liver, and thymus (4). GASP‑1 inhibits myostatin and the highly related protein, GDF-11, but not Activin or TGF-beta in vitro (1). In addition, GASP‑1 binds directly but independently to both mature myostatin and the myostatin propeptide (1). By amino acid sequence, human GASP-1 is 90% and 55% identical to mouse GASP-1 and human GASP-2, respectively.
