IGSF10 Polyclonal Antibody

Ig (immunoglobulin) superfamily members exhibit functional characteristics including immune responses, growth factor signaling and cell adhesion. IGSF10 (immunoglobulin superfamily, member 10), also known as Calvaria mechanical force protein 608 (CMF608), is a 2,623 amino acid secreted protein that contains an N-terminal signal peptide, six leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), and 12 immunoglobulin-like repeats. IGSF10 exists as multiple alternatively spliced isoforms, and is expressed in bone. Specifically, expression of IGSF10 is limited to mesenchymal osteochondroprogenitors with fibroblast-like morphology, where it is thought to be involved in the maintenance of the osteochondroprogenitor cells pool and its down-regulation precedes terminal differentiation. The gene encoding IGSF10 maps to chromosome 3, which comprises over 1,100 genes that include a chemokine receptor gene cluster as well as a variety of human cancer related loci.
