CD97 Monoclonal / Unconjugated / MEM-180

Product Details

Description	CD97 is a G-protein-coupled seven-span transmembrane adhesive receptor that is constitutively expressed on granulocytes and monocytes and rapidly upregulated on T and B cells upon activation. CD97 is produced in alternatively spliced forms and its cellular ligand is CD55 (DAF), which protects various cell types from complement-mediated damage. Interaction of CD97 on leukocytes and CD55 on vessel cells probably facilitate leukocyte activation and migration into the tissues, similarly, CD97 seems to play a role in tumour migration and invasiveness. CD97 is involved in T cell regulation and peripheral granulocyte homeostasis.

About CD97
This gene encodes a member of the EGF-TM7 subfamily of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors, which mediate cell-cell interactions. These proteins are cleaved by self-catalytic proteolysis into a large extracellular subunit and seven-span transmembrane subunit, which associate at the cell surface as a receptor complex. The encoded protein may play a role in cell adhesion as well as leukocyte recruitment, activation and migration, and contains multiple extracellular EGF-like repeats which mediate binding to chondroitin sulfate and the cell surface complement regulatory protein CD55. Expression of this gene may play a role in the progression of several types of cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms with 3 to 5 EGF-like repeats have been observed for this gene. This gene is found in a cluster with other EGF-TM7 genes on the short arm of chromosome 19. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]
