Human 5T4 (256-355) Protein, hFc Tag

This gene encodes a leucine-rich transmembrane glycoprotein that may be involved in cell adhesion. The encoded protein is an oncofetal antigen that is specific to trophoblast cells. In adults this protein is highly expressed in many tumor cells and is associated with poor clinical outcome in numerous cancers. Alternate splicing in the 5&#39 UTR results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]Molecular Weight : The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 37.5 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of 5T4 (256-355) -hFc is approximately 35-55 kDa due to glycosylation.Tag :C-Human Fc tag
