Cell surface glycoprotein MUC18 (MCAM), is an integral membrane glycoprotein which is part of the immunoglobulin superfamily. MCAM is related with a variety of carcinomas such as tumor progression, metastasis and is also implicated in embryonic neural development. In Addition, MCAM takes part in cell adhesion, as well as in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at the intercellular junctions in vascular tissue.
MCAM produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 547 amino acids (24-559 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 61.0kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 70-100kDa).MCAM is expressed with a 6 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
UniProt Protein Function: | MCAM: Plays a role in cell adhesion, and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. Its expression may allow melanoma cells to interact with cellular elements of the vascular system, thereby enhancing hematogeneous tumor spread. Could be an adhesion molecule active in neural crest cells during embryonic development. Acts as surface receptor that triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of FYN and PTK2/FAK1, and a transient increase in the intracellular calcium concentration. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |
