Anti-DMBT1 (Deleted in Malignant Brain Tumors 1 Protein, Apactin, CRP-ductin, Glycoprotein 300, gp30

DMBT1 (deleted in malignant brain tumors 1), also called salivary agglutinin (SAG) in humans, hensin in rabbit, ebnerin in rat, and muclin, crp-ductin or vomeroglandin in mouse, is a transmembrane or secreted 2085aa protein of the scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) family. It contains several SRCR and CUB domains and a zona pellucida motif. The region used as the immunogen aa215-420 contains most of SRCR 2 and 3, and shares (74%)aa identity with corresponding regions of rat or human DMBT1. Several alternately spliced, glycosylated and sulfated forms exist. DMBT1 functions in mucosal immunity by binding bacterial, viral and endogenous proteins to aid clearance by macrophages. It is also thought to play a role in epithelial cell differentiation and tumor suppression. Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
