Background

Emmprin, extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer, also known as Emmprin (BSG) or cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the Emmprin gene. the BSG gene contains 8 exons and spans 10.8 kb. The human BSG gene is mapped to 19p13.3. This protein is a determinant for the Ok blood group system. Emmprin has been shown to be an essential receptor on red blood cells for the malaria parasite. Emmprin is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, with a structure related to the putative primordial form of the family. As members of the immunoglobulin superfamily play fundamental roles in intercellular recognition involved in various immunologic phenomena, differentiation, and development, Emmprin is though also to play a role in intercellular recognition. Emmprin also regulates several distinct functions, such as spermatogenesis, expression of the monocarboxylate transporter and the responsiveness of lymphocytes. Emmprin is a type I integral membrane receptor that has many ligands, including the cyclophilin (CyP) proteins Cyp-A and CyP-B and certain integrins. It is expressed by many cell types, including epithelial cells, endothelial cells and leukocytes.

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.

Function

Plays an important role in targeting the monocarboxylate transporters SLC16A1, SLC16A3 and SLC16A8 to the plasma membrane. Plays pivotal roles in spermatogenesis, embryo implantation, neural network formation and tumor progression. Stimulates adjacent fibroblasts to produce matrix metalloproteinases (MMPS). Seems to be a receptor for oligomannosidic glycans. In vitro, promotes outgrowth of astrocytic processes. .

Components

Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9 mg NaCl and 0.2mg Na2HPO4.
