CD47 Protein, Canine (HEK293, His)

CD47 Protein, an adhesive protein, orchestrates cell-to-cell interactions and acts as a receptor for thrombospondin THBS1, concurrently modulating integrin signaling through the activation of heterotrimeric G proteins. This multifaceted protein is intricately involved in signal transduction, cardiovascular homeostasis, inflammation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, cellular self-renewal, and immunoregulation. CD47 plays a pivotal role in modulating pulmonary endothelin EDN1 signaling and acts as a pressor agent supporting blood pressure in response to THBS1-induced nitrous oxide (NO) signaling. Additionally, it contributes significantly to memory formation and synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. As a receptor for SIRPA, CD47 prevents the maturation of immature dendritic cells, inhibits cytokine production by mature dendritic cells, and mediates cell-cell adhesion through interaction with SIRPG. Furthermore, it positively modulates FAS-dependent apoptosis in T-cells and suppresses angiogenesis, potentially influencing metabolic dysregulation during normal aging. CD47's role in wound healing modulation, inhibition of stem cell self-renewal, potential involvement in membrane transport, integrin-dependent signal transduction, and prevention of premature elimination of red blood cells underscores its diverse impact on cellular processes. Existing as a monomer, CD47 interacts with THBS1, SIRPA, FAS/CD95, SIRPG, UBQLN1, UBQLN2, and possibly fibrinogen, emphasizing its intricate involvement in a wide array of cellular pathways.
