Homologous restriction factor with a molecular weight of 20 kD (HRF20) is a membrane protein that inhibits assembly of the membrane attack complex of homologous complement. Distribution of HRF20 in normal human skin was studied. The plasma membrane of keratinocytes was stained, and the intensity of the staining pattern was higher in the basal cell layer than in the granular layer. Endothelial cells of blood vessels in the dermis were also stained. The molecular weight of HRF20 on erythrocytes and epidermis is 16 kD, determined by Western blot analysis. Those of polymorphonuclear cells and lymphocytes appeared as two bands, a major band of 20 kD and a minor band of 16 kD. Susceptibility of HRF20 to phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PIPLC) was examined. After PIPLC treatment of the sections, HRF20 was not detected on the epidermis and was very slightly expressed on the blood vessels. These results indicate that HRF20 attaches to keratinocytes and blood vessels via phosphatidylinositol, regulating the formation of membrane attack complexes of homologous complement on the cell membrane.
