Recombinant Human Polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor/PIgR (C-His)

Source : Human 293 Cells; Polymeric Immunoglobulin Receptor (pIgR) is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein. pIgR is expressed by secretory epithelial cells with five Ig-like domains in the extracellular region, and transfer to the basolateral plasma membrane where it can bind larger polymers of IgA (pIgA) and pentameric IgM. The complex is then transported across the cell to be secreted at the apical surface. During this process, a cleavage occurs and separates the extracellular (known as the secretory component) from the transmembrane segment.
