Antigen Preparation
"A synthetic peptide corresponding to the human CD156b at Pro- domain. This sequence is identical among human, mouse and/or rat origins."
Background
"CD156b is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein belong to the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family.This single-pass type-1 824 aa transmembrane glycoprotein contains a signal sequence, an extracellular domain (pro-domain, catalytic domain, disintegrin-cysteine-rich domain, glycosylation sites), transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain. CD156b is a multi-domain protein that includes a Zn-dependent protease domain in the extracellular portion. It releases the soluble forms of TNF and TGFa from cells. CD156b is identified by its ability to cleave the transmembrane form of TNF between Ala-76 and Val-77 to generate the soluble form. CD156b is therefore a prospective therapeutic target in human cancer. CD156b is expressed on T cells, neutrophils, endothelial cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and myocytes. And non-lymphoid tissues including heart, placenta, brain, muscle.  "
