Facts about Bone marrow proteoglycan.
Cytotoxin and helminthotoxin.
Additionally induces non-cytolytic histamine release from human basophils.Involved in antiparasitic defense mechanisms and immune hypersensitivity reactions. The proform acts as a proteinase inhibitor, reducing the activity of PAPPA.

High levels of the proform in placenta and pregnancy serum; in placenta, localized to X cells of septa and anchoring villi. Lower levels in a variety of other tissues including kidney, myometrium, endometrium, ovaries, breast, prostate, bone marrow and colon.
[Bone marrow proteoglycan]: Secreted. The proform is secreted.; [Eosinophil granule major basic protein]: Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle. The proform is secreted. The mature protein is found in the matrix of the eosinophil's large specific granule (crystalloid core).
