CD48 antigen; also known as B-lymphocyte activation marker BLAST-1; BCM1 surface antigen; Leukocyte antigen MEM-102; TCT.1; CD48; BCM1;and BLAST1; CD48 contains one Ig-like C2-type domain and one Ig-like V-type domain; but does not have a transmembrane domain; however; but is held at the cell surface by a GPI anchor via a C-terminal domain which maybe cleaved to yield a soluble form of the receptor. CD48 may facilitate interaction between activated lymphocytes and be involved in regulating T-cell activation. CD48 plays a vital role as an environmental sensor for regulating progenitor cell numbers and inhibiting tumor development. It is suggested that the anti-CD48 mAb has the potential to become an effective therapeutic mAb against multiple myeloma.
Recombinant Human SLAM Family Member 2 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Gln27-Ser220 is expressed with a Fc; 6His tag at the C-terminus.
