U-Blot® Recombinant CD138 (VF0411) Fc-Fused Nanobody

Background：The protein encoded by This gene is a transmembrane (type I) heparan sulfate proteoglycan and is a member of the syndecan proteoglycan family. The syndecans mediate cell binding, cell signaling, and cytoskeletal organization and syndecan receptors are required for internalization of the HIV-1 tat protein. The syndecan-1 protein functions as an integral membrane protein and participates in cell proliferation, cell migration and cell-matrix interactions via its receptor for extracellular matrix proteins. Altered syndecan-1 expression has been detected in several different tumor types. While several transcript variants may exist forThis gene, the full-length natures of only two have been described to date. These two represent the major variants ofThis gene and encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
