Anti-CD147/Emmprin Antibody Picoband® (monoclonal, 6H2B2), HRP Conjugate

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 human BSG gene is mapped to 19p13.3. This protein is a determinant for the Ok blood group system. BSG has been shown to be an essential receptor on red blood cells for the malaria parasite. It 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, it plays fundamental roles in intercellular recognition involved in various immunologic phenomena, differentiation, and development. BSG is thought also to play a role in intercellular recognition. It also regulates several distinct functions, such as spermatogenesis, expression of the monocarboxylate transporter and the responsiveness of lymphocytes. BSG 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.

E.coli-derived human CD147/Emmprin recombinant protein (Position: E138-A323). Human CD147/Emmprin shares 51.1% and 51.9% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat CD147/Emmprin, respectively.

In complex with TSC1, this tumor suppressor inhibits the nutrient-mediated or growth factor-stimulated phosphorylation of S6K1 and EIF4EBP1 by negatively regulating mTORC1 signaling (PubMed:12271141, PubMed:28215400). Acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for the small GTPase RHEB, a activator of the protein kinase activity of mTORC1 (PubMed:15340059). May also play a role in microtubule-mediated protein transport (By similarity). Also stimulates the intrinsic GTPase activity of the Ras-related proteins RAP1A and RAB5 (By similarity).
