Weight	1 lbs
Dimensions	9 × 5 × 2 in
accession	Q8R2Y2
express system	HEK293
product tag	C-His
purity	> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE;> 95% as determined by HPLC
background	METCAM/MUC18 is an integral membrane cell adhesion molecule (CAM) in the Ig-like gene super-family. It can carry out common functions of CAMs which is to perform intercellular interactions and interaction of cell with extracellular matrix in tumor microenvironment, to interact with various signaling pathways and to regulate general behaviors of cells.The above positive correlation is fortuitous; actually METCAM/MUC18 acts as a tumor and metastasis suppressor for the ovarian carcinoma cells.
molecular weight	The protein has a predicted MW of 60.9 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 75-95 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.
available size	100 µg, 500 µg
endotoxin	Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Protein names Cell surface glycoprotein MUC18 (Gicerin) (Melanoma cell adhesion molecule) (Melanoma-associated antigen MUC18) (CD antigen CD146)
Gene names Mcam,Mcam Muc18
Mass 10090Da
Function Plays a role in cell adhesion, and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. Its expression may allow melanoma cells to interact with cellular elements of the vascular system, thereby enhancing hematogeneous tumor spread. Could be an adhesion molecule active in neural crest cells during embryonic development. Acts as a surface receptor that triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of FYN and PTK2/FAK1, and a transient increase in the intracellular calcium concentration (By similarity).
Subellular location Membrane ; Single-pass type I membrane protein .
Tissues Detected in melanoma cell lines.
