Recombinant Human Mesothelin/MSLN/CAK1/MPF (C-6His)

Source: Human Cells. MW :27.8kD. Recombinant Human Mesothelin is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Leu37-Arg286 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Mesothelin is a cell surface glycoprotein whose expression is limited to mesothelial cells of the serosa (pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum) and epithelial cells of the trachea, tonsils, fallopian tube, and kidneys. Mesothelin plays an important role in cell survival, proliferation, migration, invasion, tumor progression, and resistance to chemotherapy. The overexpression of mesothelin can activate NF-kB and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3), inhibit apoptotic signaling and TNF-a-induced apoptosis, and accelerate the G1–S transition. Mesothelin is also found overexpressed in various cancers, including malignant mesothelioma, pancreatic or ovarian carcinoma, sarcomas and in some gastrointestinal or pulmonary carcinomas. As a result of its limited expression in normal tissues, mesothelin has been reported as an ideal tumor-associated marker for the development of targeted therapy.
