TSPAN1 Protein, Human (HEK293, rFc)

TSPAN1 Protein is a member of the tetraspanin (TSPAN/TM4SF) family of proteins whose important feature is their ability to aggregate with one another or various other transmembrane receptors, to become TSPAN-enriched microdomains (TEMs). TSPAN1 functions as an oncoprotein in many cancer types, especially digestive malignancies such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic, gastric, colorectal, and esophageal cancers. TSPAN1 is a novel positive regulator of macroautophagy/autophagy characterized by decreased LC3-II and SQSTM1/p62 expressions, inhibited puncta formation of GFP-LC3 and autophagic vacuoles. TSPAN1 Protein, Human (HEK293, rFc) is the recombinant human-derived TSPAN1 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-rFc labeled tag.

Description

TSPAN1 Protein is a member of the tetraspanin (TSPAN/TM4SF) family of proteins whose important feature is their ability to aggregate with one another or various other transmembrane receptors, to become TSPAN-enriched microdomains (TEMs). TSPAN1 functions as an oncoprotein in many cancer types, especially digestive malignancies such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), pancreatic, gastric, colorectal, and esophageal cancers. TSPAN1 is a novel positive regulator of macroautophagy/autophagy characterized by decreased LC3-II and SQSTM1/p62 expressions, inhibited puncta formation of GFP-LC3 and autophagic vacuoles[1][2][3]. TSPAN1 Protein, Human (HEK293, rFc) is the recombinant human-derived TSPAN1 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with N-rFc labeled tag.

Background

TSPAN1 is upregulated in pancreatic cancer and that TSPAN1 depletion decreases pancreatic cancer cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. TSPAN1 promoted autophagy maturation via direct binding to LC3 by two conserved LIR motifs. Mutations in the LIR motifs of TSPAN1 resulted in a loss of the ability to induce autophagy and promote pancreatic cancer proliferation[1].
TSPAN1 depletion in parental and CDDP-resistant HNSCC cells reduced cell proliferation, induced apoptosis, decreased autophagy, sensitized to chemotherapeutic agents and inhibited several signaling cascades, with phospho-SRC inhibition being a major common target[2].
