Basigin/CD147 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

Basigin/BSG proteins are critical for retinal maturation and development and function as retinal cell receptors for NXNL1, promoting the survival of retinal cone photoreceptors. Basigin/CD147 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant human-derived Basigin/CD147 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag. The total length of Basigin/CD147 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is 184 a.a., with molecular weight of 58-65 kDa.

Basigin/BSG protein is essential for the normal maturation and development of the retina, functioning as a critical cell surface receptor for NXNL1 and playing a pivotal role in NXNL1-mediated survival of retinal cone photoreceptors. Collaborating with glucose transporter SLC16A1/GLUT1 and NXNL1, Basigin/BSG promotes the survival of retinal cones by facilitating aerobic glycolysis and accelerating glucose entry into photoreceptors. Additionally, it serves as a potent inducer of IL6 secretion in various cell lines, including monocytes. In the context of microbial infection, Basigin/BSG acts as an erythrocyte receptor for P. falciparum RH5, playing an indispensable role in erythrocyte invasion by the merozoite stage of P. falciparum isolates 3D7 and Dd2. These diverse functions highlight the multifaceted roles of Basigin/BSG in cellular processes and host-pathogen interactions.
