A SLP-2 (SmSLP-2) gene in turbot (Scopthalmus maximus) was identified.
Both viral and bacterial pathogen infection resulted in up-regulation of SmSLP-2 mRNA in head kidney and spleen.
The major pool of SmSLP-2 is the peripheral membrane in ZF4 cells.
SmSLP-2 modulates IL-2 expression via active NFκB signaling pathway.
