Background

Reversion-inducing-cysteine-rich protein with kazal motifs, also known as RECK, is a human gene, thought to be a metastasis suppressor. The protein encoded by this gene is a cysteine-rich, extracellular protein with protease inhibitor-like domains whose expression is suppressed strongly in many tumors and cells transformed by various kinds of oncogenes. In normal cells, this membrane-anchored glycoprotein may serve as a negative regulator for matrix metalloproteinase-9, a key enzyme involved in tumor invasion and metastasis. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Host

Rabbit

Reactivity

Human

Cross Reactivity

No cross-reactivity with other proteins.

Immunogen

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence in the middle region of human RECK, which shares 88.6% and 79.5% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat RECK, respectively.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in various tissues and untransformed cells. It is undetectable in tumor-derived cell lines and oncogenically transformed cells.

Applications

WB

Field of Research

Cancer, Cell Biology, Oncoproteins/Suppressors, Protease Inhibitors, Proteolysis/Ubiquitin, Tumor Suppressors

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

Negatively regulates matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) by suppressing MMP-9 secretion and by inhibition of its enzymatic activity. RECK down-regulation by oncogenic signals may facilitate tumor invasion and metastasis. Appears to also regulate MMP-2 and MT1-MMP, which are involved in cancer progression.
