Recombinant Human MSLN, Fc Tagged, Biotinylated

• Cat.No.: MSLN-2967H
• Product Overview: A DNA sequence encoding the human MSLN (Q13421-2) (Glu296-Gly580) was expressed with the fused Fc region of human IgG1 at the N-terminus. The expressed protein was biotinylated in vitro.

Specification

• Description: Megakaryocyte potentiating factor is a member of the mesothelin family. This family consists of several mammalian pre-pro-megakaryocyte potentiating factor precursor (MPF) or mesothelin proteins. Both megakaryocyte potentiating factor and the cleaved form of mesothelin are N-glycosylated. Mesothelin is a tumour differentiation antigen that is normally present on the mesothelial cells lining the pleura, peritoneum and pericardium. Megakaryocyte potentiating factor is secreted by several mesothelioma cell lines and is frequently elevated in the blood of patients with mesothelioma. Measurement of this protein may be useful in following the response of mesothelioma to treatment. Megakaryocyte potentiating factor interacts with MUC16 and potentiates megakaryocyte colony formation in vitro. Its membrane-anchored forms may play a role in cellular adhesion.
• Source: Human Cells
• Species: Human
• Tag: Fc Tag
• Form: Lyophilized from sterile PBS , pH 7.4
• Molecular Mass: The recombinant human MSLN/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 545 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 60.7 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 65 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.
• Protein length: Glu296-Gly580
• Endotoxin: < 1.0 eu per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
• Purity: >95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
• Storage: Store it under sterile conditions at -70℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
• Reconstitution: Reconstitute with water to desired concentration.

Q&As

What is the primary role of MSLN in normal tissues?

MSLN is normally expressed in mesothelial cells, playing a role in cell adhesion.

How is MSLN expression altered in cancerous cells?

In cancer, MSLN expression is significantly upregulated.

In which types of cancer is MSLN overexpressed?

MSLN is overexpressed in mesothelioma, ovarian, and pancreatic cancers.

Are there any therapeutic strategies targeting MSLN in cancer treatment?

Therapies targeting MSLN include antibody-drug conjugates and CAR-T cell therapies.

How can MSLN levels be detected and measured in clinical settings?

MSLN levels can be assessed through immunohistochemistry and serum biomarker tests.

What is the prognostic significance of MSLN overexpression in cancer patients?

MSLN overexpression is often associated with poor prognosis in cancer patients.

How does MSLN contribute to cancer progression and metastasis?

MSLN promotes tumor cell proliferation, invasion, and resistance to apoptosis.
