Description

The CD146/MCAM protein is a multifunctional adhesion regulator that plays a crucial role in maintaining endothelial monolayer adhesion in vascular tissue. Its expression is associated with promoting interactions between melanoma cells and vascular components, potentially enhancing hematogenous spread of tumors. CD146/MCAM Protein, Cynomolgus (HEK293, His) is the recombinant cynomolgus-derived CD146/MCAM protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag. The total length of CD146/MCAM Protein, Cynomolgus (HEK293, His) is 536 a.a., with molecular weight of 80-110 kDa.

Background

CD146/MCAM, a versatile protein, assumes a crucial role in cell adhesion and the cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions within vascular tissue. Its expression holds significance in facilitating interactions between melanoma cells and cellular components of the vascular system, potentially augmenting the hematogeneous spread of tumors. Beyond its involvement in tumor biology, CD146/MCAM is postulated to function as an adhesion molecule during embryonic development, particularly in neural crest cells. Acting as a surface receptor, it triggers tyrosine phosphorylation events involving FYN and PTK2/FAK1, accompanied by a transient increase in intracellular calcium concentration (By similarity).

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping
