Product Specs

Introduction

Belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, Basigin Isoform 2 (BSG) is a type 1 transmembrane protein characterized by N- and O-linked glycosylation. It interacts with various ligands, including integrins and cyclophilin proteins (Cyp-A and Cyp-B). BSG plays a critical role in intercellular recognition and participates in diverse immunological processes, cell differentiation, and development. Furthermore, it regulates multiple cellular functions, encompassing the production and release of the monocarboxylate transporter, spermatogenesis, and others. In the context of malignant cells, Basigin Isoform 2 contributes to invasion, metastasis, growth, and survival by promoting the production and release of matrix metalloproteinases by neighboring mesenchymal and tumor cells.

Description

Produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells, BSG is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 428 amino acids (22-207a.a.) with a molecular mass of 47.5kDa. It's important to note that on SDS-PAGE, the molecular size will appear within the range of 40-57kDa. The protein is expressed with a 242 amino acid hIgG-His tag at the C-terminus and subsequently purified using proprietary chromatographic methods.

Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation

The BSG protein solution is provided at a concentration of 0.5mg/ml. It is formulated in a phosphate-buffered saline solution (pH 7.4) containing 10% glycerol.

Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the unopened vial should be kept at a refrigerated temperature of 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. To ensure optimal stability during long-term storage, consider adding a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA at a concentration of 0.1%.
Repeated freezing and thawing of the product should be avoided.
Purity

The purity of the BSG protein is determined to be greater than 90.0% based on SDS-PAGE analysis.

Synonyms

Basigin isoform 2, 5F7, CD147, EMMPRIN, OK, TCSF, Leukocyte activation antigen M6, OK blood group antigen.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Isoforms

Basigin has multiple isoforms. The common form, known as basigin-2, contains two immunoglobulin domains, while the extended form, basigin-1, has three . The recombinant mature human CD147 consists of 195 amino acids and has a calculated molecular mass of 21.6 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the recombinant protein migrates as an approximately 30-40 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions .

Biological Functions

Basigin is involved in numerous biological functions, including:

  • Vision: It plays a crucial role in the maintenance of retinal function.
  • Spermatogenesis: Essential for the development of sperm cells.
  • Embryo Implantation: Facilitates the implantation of the embryo in the uterus.
  • Neural Network Formation: Contributes to the formation of neural networks .
Molecular Interactions

Basigin interacts with various binding partners, including:

  • Cyclophilins: Acts as a receptor for these proteins.
  • Monocarboxylate Transporters (MCTs): Essential for their cell surface translocation and activities.
  • GLUT1, CD44, and CD98: Associates with these proteins in the same membrane plane .
Pathological Roles

Basigin is implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including:

  • Cancer: Plays a role in tumor progression and metastasis.
  • Malaria: Serves as a receptor for the invasive protein RH5 present in malaria parasites .
Industrial Production

Recombinant human Basigin is produced using advanced biotechnological methods. The protein is expressed in suitable host cells, purified, and characterized to ensure its functionality and stability. This recombinant protein is widely used in research to study its various roles and interactions.
