Background

AAMP, also known as Angio-associated, migratory cell protein, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the AAMP gene. It is mapped to 2q35. The gene product of AAMP is an immunoglobulin-type protein, which is found to be expressed strongly in endothelial cells, cytotrophoblasts, and poorly differentiated colon adenocarcinoma cells found in lymphatics. It has been demonstrated that an AAMP peptide containing the putative heparan sulfate-binding domain binds to heparin and mediates heparin-sensitive cell adhesion. AAMP plays a role in angiogenesis and cell migration. In smooth muscle cell migration, it may act through the RhoA pathway.

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins

Immunogen

E.coli-derived human AAMP recombinant protein (Position: E235-R434) .

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Expressed at high levels in lung, lymph nodes, placenta, bone marrow, dendritic cells present in germinal centers and T-cell areas of secondary lymphoid organs and macrophages derived from peripheral blood monocytes. Not expressed by peripheral blood monocytes and a monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation is a prerequisite for expression. Expressed in synovial fluids from patients with rheumatoid and septic arthritis and in ovarian carcinoma ascitic fluid. .

Applications

Flow Cytometry, IHC, WB

Field of Research

Cancer, Chemokines, Immunology, Innate Immunity, Oncoproteins, Tumor Biomarkers

Purification

Immunogen affinity purified.

Concentration

Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 μg/ml.

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

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

Function

Chemotactic factor that attracts lymphocytes but not monocytes or granulocytes. May be involved in B-cell migration into B-cell follicles in lymph nodes. Attracts naive T-lymphocytes toward dendritic cells and activated macrophages in lymph nodes, has chemotactic activity for naive T-cells, CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells and thus may play a role in both humoral and cell-mediated immunity responses. .
