BST-2 rabbit pAb

Bone marrow stromal cells are involved in the growth and development of B-cells. The specific function of the protein encoded by the bone marrow stromal cell antigen 2 is undetermined; however, this protein may play a role in pre-B-cell growth and in rheumatoid arthritis.

Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Cell membrane ; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Cell membrane ; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor . Membrane raft. Cytoplasm. Apical cell membrane . Shuttles between the cell membrane, where it is present predominantly in membrane/lipid rafts, and the trans-Golgi network. Forms a complex with MMP14 and localizes to the cytoplasm.; Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network . Late endosome . (Microbial infection) HIV-1 VPU and HIV-2 ENV can target it to the trans-Golgi network thus sequestering it away from virus assembly sites on the cell membrane. Targeted to late endosomes upon KSHV infection and subsequent ubiquitination. .
