Anti-CD316 IGSF8 Antibody

Immunoglobulin superfamily member 8; IgSF8; CD81 partner 3; Glu-Trp-Ile EWI motif-containing protein 2; EWI-2; Keratinocytes-associated transmembrane protein 4; KCT-4; LIR-D1; Prostaglandin regulatory-like protein; PGRL; CD316; IGSF8; CD81P3, EWI2, KCT4

Expressed in brain, kidney, testis, liver and placenta with moderate expression in all other tissues. Detected on a majority of B-cells, T-cells, and natural killer cells but not on monocytes, polynuclear cells and platelets. .

May play a key role in diverse functions ascribed to CD81 and CD9 such as oocytes fertilization or hepatitis C virus function. May regulate proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes. May be a negative regulator of cell motility: suppresses T-cell mobility coordinately with CD81, associates with CD82 to suppress prostate cancer cell migration, regulates epidermoid cell reaggregation and motility on laminin-5 with CD9 and CD81 as key linkers. May also play a role on integrin- dependent morphology and motility functions. May participate in the regulation of neurite outgrowth and maintenance of the neural network in the adult brain. .
