We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
Saposin
From Proteopedia
Saposin (Sap) is a small protein which functions as activator of lipid-degrading enzymes. They act by isolating the lipid substrate from the membrane. Sap is synthesized as a precursor – prosaposin – which contain 4 SapB active domains and 2 SapA domains which are cleaved off. For more details see Molecular Playground/Saposin C.
