Human ADAM8 / CD156a Protein, His Tag

Protein

RT

53.8 kDa

Disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 8 is also known as ADAM8, Cell surface antigen MS2 and CD antigen CD156a, which belongs to the ADAM (a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain) family. ADAM family play a fundamental role in diverse processes such as asthma, development, angiogenesis and cancer through their activities in cell adhesion/fusion, membrane protein shedding, and signal transduction. ADAM8 / CD156a contains 1 disintegrin domain, 1 EGF-like domain and 1 peptidase M12B domain. ADAM8 / MS2 / CD156a is expressed on neutrophils and monocytes. ADAM8 / MS2 possible involvement in extravasation of leukocytes.

ADAM8

This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 53.8 kDa. Two main fragments bands are visible with apparent MW of 57-65 kDa and 35-40 kDa respectively in reduced SDS-PAGE as a result of its being prone to proteolytic cleavage.
