  • FUNCTION Saposin-A and saposin-C stimulate the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide by beta-glucosylceramidase (EC 3.2.1.45) and galactosylceramide by beta-galactosylceramidase (EC 3.2.1.46). Saposin-C apparently acts by combining with the enzyme and acidic lipid to form an activated complex, rather than by solubilizing the substrate.FUNCTION Saposin-B stimulates the hydrolysis of galacto-cerebroside sulfate by arylsulfatase A (EC 3.1.6.8), GM1 gangliosides by beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.23) and globotriaosylceramide by alpha-galactosidase A (EC 3.2.1.22). Saposin-B forms a solubilizing complex with the substrates of the sphingolipid hydrolases.FUNCTION Saposin-D is a specific sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activator (EC 3.1.4.12).FUNCTION Behaves as a myelinotrophic and neurotrophic factor, these effects are mediated by its G-protein-coupled receptors, GPR37 and GPR37L1, undergoing ligand-mediated internalization followed by ERK phosphorylation signaling.FUNCTION Saposins are specific low-molecular mass non-enzymic proteins, they participate in the lysosomal degradation of sphingolipids, which takes place by the sequential action of specific hydrolases.SUBUNIT Saposin-B is a homodimer. Prosaposin exists as a roughly half-half mixture of monomers and disulfide-linked dimers (PubMed:10406958, PubMed:12510003, PubMed:21835174, PubMed:7730378). Monomeric prosaposin interacts (via C-terminus) with sortilin/SORT1, the interaction is required for targeting to lysosomes (PubMed:14657016, PubMed:22431521). Interacts with GRN; facilitates lysosomal delivery of progranulin from the extracellular space and the biosynthetic pathway (PubMed:26370502).INTERACTION Secreted as a fully glycosylated 70 kDa protein composed of complex glycans.ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Additional isoforms seem to exist.PTM The lysosomal precursor is proteolytically processed to 4 small peptides, which are similar to each other and are sphingolipid hydrolase activator proteins.PTM N-linked glycans show a high degree of microheterogeneity.PTM The one residue extended Saposin-B-Val is only found in 5% of the chains.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.DISEASE Defects in PSAP saposin-D region are found in a variant of Tay-Sachs disease (GM2-gangliosidosis).DISEASE Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.MISCELLANEOUS Saposin-B co-purifies with 1 molecule of phosphatidylethanolamine.
