Background: ZAG

ZAG (zinc-alpha ₂-glycoprotein; also ZA2G) is a 40 kDa, secreted member of the MHC class I family of proteins. It is produced by adipocytes and various epithelial cells that generate exocrine-type secretions. ZAG is reported to stimulate lipid breakdown and thus may play a role in lipid homeostasis. Mature human ZAG is 278 amino acids (aa) in length. It contains one MHC class I antigen region (aa 26‑201) and a C2‑type Ig‑like domain (aa 207‑292). Two alternate splice forms exist; one shows a 66 aa substitution for the C‑terminal 30 aa, and a second shows a nine Lys substitution for aa 151‑298. Mature human ZAG is 60% aa identical to mouse ZAG.
