Alternative Name(s): Cell surface glycoprotein P1H12Melanoma cell adhesion molecule;Melanoma-associated antigen A32Melanoma-associated antigen MUC18S-endo 1 endothelial-associated antigen; CD146
Relevance: 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 elents of the vascular syst, thereby enhancing hatogeneous tumor spread. Could be an adhesion molecule active in neural crest cells during bryonic development. Acts as surface receptor that triggers tyrosine phosphorylation of FYN and PTK2/FAK1, and a transient increase in the intracellular calcium concentration.
Reference: MUC18, a marker of tumor progression in human melanoma, shows sequence similarity to the neural cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily.Lehmann J.M., Riethmueller G., Johnson J.P.Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 86:9891-9895(1989)
Purity: Greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Storage Buffer: Tris-based buffer,50% glycerol
Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20℃/-80℃. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20℃/-80℃.
Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4℃ for up to one week.
