Rabbit Anti-C9ORF46/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
C9orf46 is a 147 amino acid transmembrane protein. The gene encoding C9orf46 maps to human chromosome 9, which consists of about 145 million bases and 4% of the human genome and encodes nearly 900 genes. Considered to play a role in gender determination, deletion of the distal portion of 9p can lead to development of male to female sex reversal, the phenotype of a female with a male X,Y genotype. Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, which is characterized by harmful vascular defects, is associated with the chromosome 9 gene encoding endoglin protein, ENG. Familial dysautonomia is also associated with chromosome 9 though through the gene IKBKAP. Notably, chromosome 9 encompasses the largest interferon family gene cluster. Chromosome 9 is partnered with chromosome 22 in the translocation leading to the aberrant production of BCR-ABL fusion protein often found in leukemias.
Function:
Receptor for plasminogen. Regulates urokinaseplasminogen activator-dependent and stimulates tissue-typeplasminogen activator-dependent cell surface plasminogenactivation. Proposed to be part of a local catecholaminergic cellplasminogen activation system that regulates neuroendocrineprohormone processing. Involved in regulation of inflammatoryresponse; regulates monocyte chemotactic migration and matrixmetallproteinase activation, such as of MMP2 and MMP9.
Subunit:
Interacts with PLAT and PLAUR (By similarity).
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.Note=Colocalizes on the cell surface with urokinase plasminogenactivator surface receptor/PLAUR (By similarity).
Tissue Specificity:
Expressed in peripheral blood cells andmonocytes. Expressed in adrenal medulla.
