Overview
GARP (glycoprotein A repetitions predominant protein), also known as garpin or LRRC32 (leucin-rich repeat containing protein 32) is an approximately 80 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein detected on the surface of megakaryocytes, platelets, and activated Treg cells. It binds to the latency-associated peptide (LAP) domain of pro-TGF beta and regulates its storage and activation. The expression of GARP on Treg cells seems to be necessary for their suppressive functions.
Specificity:
The mouse monoclonal antibody GARP5 recognizes GARP / LRRC32, an approximately 80 kDa glycoprotein expressed e.g. on the surface of megakaryocytes, platelets and activated Treg cells.
