Rabbit Anti-BAMBI/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
BAMBI is a membrane spanning glycoprotein that acts as a negative regulator of TGF-β signaling during development. The BAMBI family of proteins are related to type I TGF-β receptor family, however, BAMBI is a pseudoreceptor that lacks an intracellular serine/threonine kinase domain. BAMBI transcription regulation is under the influence of β-catenin, BMP, smad3 and smad4. BAMBI expression can increase in colorectal and hepatocellular carcinomas relative to non-cancerous tissues. BAMBI is expressed at high levels during odontogenesis. BAMBI is coexpressed with Bmp-4 during early Xenopus embryogenesis and can be detected in poorly metastatic human melanoma cell lines.
Function:
Negatively regulates TGF-beta signaling.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
High expression in kidney medulla, placenta and spleen; low in kidney cortex, liver, prostate and gut. Not expressed in normal skin, expression is high in melanocytes and in 3 out of 11 melanoma metastases tested.
Similarity:
Belongs to the BAMBI family.
