Description
Product Characteristics: SPON2 is a cell adhesion protein that promote adhesion and outgrowth of hippocampal embryonic neurons. Binds directly to bacteria and their components and functions as an opsonin for macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria. It is essential in the initiation of the innate immune response and represents a unique pattern-recognition molecule in the ECM for microbial pathogens.
Target Information: promotes cell adhesion and outgrowth of embryonic hippocampal neurons [RGD, Feb 2006]
