Name :
Human CD146/MUC18/MCAM Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Fc-fusion, Biotinylated, Recombinant

Description :
CD146, also known as MUC18 and MCAM, is a single-pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. CD146 contains 2 Ig-like V-type domains and 3 Ig-like C2-type domains (V-V-C2-C2-C2) in the extracellular region (ECD) in addition to a transmembrane (TM) region and a short cytoplasmic tail. CD146 is expressed in endothelial cells in vascular tissue throughout the body. Its expression appears to be limited to vascular smooth muscle in normal adult tissues. CD146 is involved in cell adhesion, and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. CD146 is also an adhesion molecule active in neural crest cells during embryonic development. CD146 is associated with tumor progression and the development of metastasis in human malignant melanoma. Its expression may allow melanoma cells to interact with cellular elements of the vascular system, thereby enhancing hematogeneous tumor spread. CD146 can act as a cell surface receptor that triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of FYN and PTK2/FAK1 as well as a transient increase in the intracellular calcium concentration. CD146 is expressed most strongly on metastatic lesions and advanced primary tumors while it is only rarely detected in benign melanocytic nevi and thin primary melanomas with a low probability of metastasis. It thus suggests that CD146 may play an important role in tumor progression and metastasis.

Uniprot Entry :
P43121

Construct Details :
The recombinant human CD146-Fc fusion is expressed as a 774 amino acid protein consisting of Val24 – Gly559 region of CD146 (Uniprot Accession #P43121) and a C-terminal Fc from human IgG1, which exists as a dimer under non-reducing conditions.
