Description | Specificity: Natural and recombinant human CD47. There is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins. CD47 (Cluster of Differentiation 47), also known as integrin associated protein (IAP), is a transmembrane protein that in humans is encoded by the CD47 gene. It belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and partners with membrane integrins and also binds the ligands thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) and signal-regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα). CD47 is involved in a range of cellular processes, including apoptosis, proliferation, adhesion, and migration. Furthermore, it plays a key role in immune and angiogenic responses. Also CD47 is ubiquitously expressed in human cells and has found to be overexpressed in many different tumor cells. |
