CD146/MCAM Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)

The CD146/MCAM protein is a multifunctional adhesion regulator that plays a crucial role in maintaining endothelial monolayer adhesion in vascular tissue. Its expression is associated with promoting interactions between melanoma cells and vascular components, potentially enhancing hematogenous spread of tumors. CD146/MCAM Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived CD146/MCAM protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-His labeled tag. The total length of CD146/MCAM Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is 540 a.a., with molecular weight of 90-100 KDa.

CD146/MCAM, a versatile protein, assumes a crucial role in cell adhesion and the cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions within vascular tissue. Its expression holds significance in facilitating interactions between melanoma cells and cellular components of the vascular system, potentially augmenting the hematogeneous spread of tumors. Beyond its involvement in tumor biology, CD146/MCAM is postulated to function as an adhesion molecule during embryonic development, particularly in neural crest cells. Acting as a surface receptor, it triggers tyrosine phosphorylation events involving FYN and PTK2/FAK1, accompanied by a transient increase in intracellular calcium concentration (By similarity).

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Mouse MCAM/CD146 is immobilized at 1 μg/mL, the concentration of Recombinant Mouse Galectin-3 that produces 50% of the optimal binding response is 0.4829 μg/mL.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH₂O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Stored at -20°C for 2 years. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
