Background

Interferon-induced Transmembrane Protein 1 (IFITM1), also called Interferon-induced Protein 17 (IFI17). IFITM1 activity is required for primordial germ cells (PGCs) transit from the mesoderm into the endoderm, and that it appears to act via a repulsive mechanism, such that PGCs avoid Ifitm1-expressing tissues. It is mapped to Chr.11 and belongs to the family of interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (Ifitm/mil/fragilis), which encodes cell surface proteins that may modulate cell adhesion and influence cell differentiation. Interferon-inducible membrane proteins of approximately 17 kDa have been suggested to play a role in the antiproliferative activity of interferons based on their pattern of induction in interferon-sensitive and -resistant cell lines and the ability of a membrane fraction enriched in 17-kDa proteins to inhibit cell growth.

Function

Cadherins are calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They preferentially interact with themselves in a homophilic manner in connecting cells; cadherins may thus contribute to the sorting of heterogeneous cell types. This cadherin may play an important role in endothelial cell biology through control of the cohesion and organization of the intercellular junctions. Acts in concert with KRIT1 to establish and maintain correct endothelial cell polarity and vascular lumen. These effects are mediated by recruitment and activation of the Par polarity complex and RAP1B. Required for activation of PRKCZ and for localization of phosphorylated PRKCZ, PARD3, TIAM1 and RAP1B to the cell junction.

Components

Each vial contains 4mg Trehalose, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.01mg NaN3.
