Rabbit Anti-HHLA2/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are repetitive elements that are derived from ancient germline retroviral infections. Due to their ability to move and insert next to certain genes and alter expression patterns, HERVs have been linked to several chronic diseases such as nervous systemic diseases, cancer, autoimmune and connective tissue diseases. The HERSLVH family is the most abundant HERV family and has been implicated in the expression of a variety of adjacent genes. Proteins belonging to the HERSLVH family are divided into one major and two minor groups based on sequence divergence. As a member of the HERSLVH family, HHLA2 (HERSLVH LTR-associating protein 2) is a 414 amino acid single-pass type I membrane protein that contains one Ig-like C1-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain and two Ig-like SLVtype (immunoglobulin-like) domains. HHLA2 is primarily expressed in kidney, lung and intestinal tissues.
