|
| Function |
Inhibits fibrillization of beta amyloid peptide during the elongation phase. Has also been shown to assemble amyloid fibrils into protease-resistant aggregates. Binds heparin. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15522881, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15615705, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15853808, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16300410}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. Note=After proteolytic cleavage, CLAC is secreted.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed predominantly in brain. Deposited preferentially in primitive or neuritic amyloid plaques which are typical of Alzheimer disease. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11927537}.
