Recombinant Human Adipocyte Adhesion Molecule/ASAM/CLMP/ACAM (C-6His)

Source: Human Cells. MW :25.38kD. Recombinant Human Adipocyte Adhesion Molecule is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Thr19-Met233 is expressed with a 6His tag at the C-terminus. Adipocyte Adhesion Molecule (ASAM) is a type I transmembrane protein and member of the CTX family within the immunoglobulin superfamily. ASAM may be involved in the cell-cell adhesion, play an important role in adipocyte differentiation and development of obesity. ASAM can be expressed in the skeletal, heart, colon, spleen, muscle, lung and kidney with high level, and in the peripheral blood leukocytes and liver with low level. The extracellular region of ASAM consists two potential N-linked glycosylation sites, and two immunoglobulin domains, one V-type and one C2-type. Protein function: May be involved in the cell-cell adhesion. May play a role in adipocyte differentiation and development of obesity. Is required for normal small intestine development.
