Nectin-4 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

The Nectin-4 Protein IgV domain is pivotal in cell adhesion, participating in trans-homophilic and -heterophilic interactions, notably with NECTIN1. While it doesn't serve as an alpha-herpesvirus entry receptor, it functions as a receptor for measles virus, enabling virus entry into host cells. This dual role underscores the importance of Nectin-4 in cell adhesion and its specific role as a measles virus infection receptor. Nectin-4 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant human-derived Nectin-4 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.

The Nectin-4 Protein IgV domain plays a crucial role in cell adhesion, engaging in both trans-homophilic and -heterophilic interactions. Specifically, it forms interactions with NECTIN1, contributing to cellular adhesion processes. However, it does not function as a receptor for alpha-herpesvirus entry into cells. In the context of microbial infection, the Nectin-4 IgV domain acts as a receptor for measles virus, facilitating the entry of the virus into host cells. This highlights the dual role of Nectin-4 in cell adhesion and its significance as a specific receptor for measles virus infection.
