CD228 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His)

Melanotransferrin is typically overexpressed in melanoma cells compared to other cell types - including cancer cells - and is efficiently sorted and secreted with nanovesicles, or so-called exosomes, due to its membrane-anchoring by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol. Melanotransferrin is exposed on the surface of exosomes and is accessible for antibody recognition.
