Description
Description: NECTIN3 produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 355 amino acids (58-404 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 39.1kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 40-57kDa). NECTIN3 is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: NECTIN3, also known as Nectin Cell Adhesion Molecule 3, is part of the nectin family. NECTIN3 is intended to initiate cell-cell adhesion to stimulate cell attachment and to allow subsequent formation of JAM-and cadherin-based intercellular junctions. NECTIN3 induces endocytosis-mediated down-regulation of PVR from the cell surface, which results in reduction of cell movement & proliferation. Following Nectin-3 activity adds strength to the junction through trans-interaction with various molecules.
