TSPAN8 - Tetraspanin-8
Order number: 70931
Description
We are excited to introduce our off-the-shelf, full-length, active, and native Tetraspanin-8, commonly known as TSPAN8. This essential protein has been demonstrated to play a crucial role in the mediation of signal transduction events, which are known to regulate cell development, activation and motility. Furthermore, TSPAN8 has been shown to be involved in the expression of invasive properties required for tumour progression and melanoma dissemination. Mutations of TSPAN8 have been identified as a contributing factor to a variety of medical diseases, including annular pancreas, diabetes mellitus, as well as pancreas cancer subtype 3a, which makes TSPAN8 a potential target for cancer therapy.
Our TSPAN8 protein has been solubilized and stabilized using our NativeMP™ platform, ensuring it retains its native structure and full biological activity, making it ideal for various research applications.
