IMP-1898

Bsg

Recombinant extracellular domain of mouse BSG isoform 2 (NP_001070652.1) (Met 1-Arg 209) was fused with the C-terminal polyhistidine-tagged Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.

CD147/EMMPRIN (Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer), also known as Basigin (BSG), is a transmembrane glycoprotein with different forms resulted from different modes of glycosylation and N-terminal sequence variants. It is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily with homology to both the immunoglobulin V domain and MHC class II antigen beta-chain. This protein play important roles in variety of events including spermatogenesis, embryo implantation, neural network formation. CD147 induces the production and release of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) in the surrounding mesenchymal cells and tumor cells, and thereby promotes invasion, metastasis, growth and survival of malignant cells. Furthermore, CD147 also serves as a receptor for extracellular cyclophilinthe and its association with integrins might be important in signal transduction. Recently, CD147 displays increased expression in many cancers, and it has been previously demonstrated to participate in cancer metastasis and progression. Thus, CD147 and its antibody are used as an effective treatment for malignant cancers.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4, 5 % trehalose, 5% mannitol and 0.01% Tween80.

The secreted recombinant mouse BSG/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer The reduced monomer comprises 436 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 48.6 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, it migrates as an approximately 60-70 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
