Basigin / BSG / CD147 Antibody Background

Mouse CD147, also known as BSG or EMMPRIN, is a transmembrane glycoprotein with different forms resulted from different modes of glycosylation and N-terminal sequence variants. CD147 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily with homology to both the immunoglobulin V domain and MHC class II antigen beta-chain. This protein play important roles in variety of events including sperm-atogenesis, embryo implantation, neural network formation, and tumor progression. Enriched on the plasma memebrane of many human cancer ( breast cancer, lymphoma, oral squamous cell carcinoma, glioma, melanoma, lung, bladder and kidney carcinomas ) cells, CD147 induces the production and release of matrix metalloproteinases in the surrounding mesenchymal cells and tumor cells, and thereby promotes invasion, metastasis, growth and survival of malignant cells. Furthermore, CD147 also serves as a receptor for extracellular cyclophilinthe and its association with integrins might be important in signal transduction. CD147 is a key molecule related to mouse blastocyst implantation. The high level of CD147 expression in the blastocyst may also play a role during embryo implantation.
