CD147/Emmprin/Basigin (Extracellular region) (clone M052), anti-human

Background:
CD147 (Basigin/EMMPRIN) is a type I integral membrane receptor protein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD147 is a glycosylated protein with four known isoforms with isoform 2 being the most abundantly expressed. In many cancers, CD147 is overexpressed and stimulates the secretion of extracellular matrix metalloproteinases by tumor fibroblasts, which can promote tumor progression. CD147 is co-expressed with the amino acid transporter, CD98h, in metabolically active cells such as lymphocytes, macrophages, and tumor cells. CD147 interaction with caveolin and cyclophilins regulates its functions, and this protein may function outside of tumor cells through cell shedding and microvesicle release.

Sequence: Clone (M052) was generated from a proprietary antigen related to the native human CD147 expressed in NCIH1915 lung cancer cell line.
*For more information, see UniProt Accession P35613

Specificity: Clone M052 mouse monoclonal antibody detects a 38-58 kDa* protein on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human SK-MES1, MDA-MB-231, MeWo, A431, LNCaP, and NCI-H1915 cells, as well as human brain tissues. The antibody works for western blot and ELISA detection of CD147.
