TROP2/TACD1 [clone B-9], anti-human

Description: TROP2, also known as tumor-associated calcium signal transducer 2 (TACSTD2), pancreatic carcinoma marker protein GA733-1, membrane component chromosome 1, surface marker 1 (M1S1) or epithelial glycoprotein-1 (EGP-1), is a cell surface glycoprotein receptor. It is a single pass type I membrane protein containing one thryoglobulin type-1 domain, an epidermal growth factorlike repeat, a phosphatidylinositol binding site and tyrosine phosphorylation sites near the C-terminus. TROP2 plays a role in tranducing intracellular calcium signals. It is expressed in trophoblast cells, cornea and multistratified epithelia. It is also highly expressed in several types of tumors and is involved in regulating the growth of carcinoma cells. Mutations in the gene encoding TROP-2 can result in gelatinous drop-like corneal dystrophy (GDLD) also referred to as lattice corneal dystrophy type III, an autosomal recessive disorder that causes severe visual impairment.Localization: membrane, some cytoplasmDilution: 50-250Positive Control: skin, breast or cervical cancer, MCF7 and HCT 116 cellsHIER: citrate pH6.0 or EDTA pH8.0Status: RUO
