Selp Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including fucose binding activity; heparin binding activity; and lipopolysaccharide binding activity. Involved in several processes, including leukocyte migration; regulation of cellular extravasation; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Used to study acute necrotizing pancreatitis and anti-basement membrane glomerulonephritis. Biomarker of atherosclerosis; colitis; congestive heart failure; and myocardial infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atopic dermatitis and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human SELP (selectin P). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
