Research AreasMetabolism

Function

Represents a potent melanoma-specific antigen. Among melanoma non-mutated self-peptides, G9-154 (KTWGQYWQV), G9-209 (ITDQVPFSV) and G9-280 (YLEPGPVTA), appear to act as immunodominant common epitopes that stimulate anti-tumor immune response mediated by HLA-A-restricted cytotoxic T cells.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein); Golgi apparatus, cis-Golgi network membrane (Single-pass type I membrane protein); Endosome, multivesicular body; Melanosome; Extracellular vesicle; Secreted
Tissue Specificity: Normally expressed at low levels in quiescent adult melanocytes but overexpressed by proliferating neonatal melanocytes and during tumor growth. Overexpressed in melanomas. Some expression was found in dysplastic nevi

Product Specifications

Subunit

Homodimer; disulfide-linked. Dimerization in the endoplasmic reticulum and early Golgi prevents premature fibril formation. The dimers are resolved to monomers in late- or post-Golgi compartments (PubMed:26694611). Heterooligomer; amyloid-type. Processed amyloidogenic fragments assemble into fibrils that further organize into beta-sheet quaternary amyloid structures (PubMed:28272432, PubMed:30988362). Interacts (via luminal C-terminal fragment) with CD63; this is important for sorting of the luminal fragment in tetraspanin rich microdomains in stage I melanosomes to prevent premature lysosomal degradation (PubMed:21962903). Interacts with APOE; this allows the loading of the luminal fragment on ILVs to induce fibril nucleation (PubMed:26387950). Interacts with MLANA (PubMed:15695812)

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I order or inquire about this product?

Fill out the Online Inquiry form with your required quantity and specifications. You can also email sales@biocrestsci.com. Our team typically responds within 4 business hours with a quote and availability confirmation.

What is the shipping and delivery time?

Orders placed before 2 PM EST ship the same day. Domestic (US) delivery typically takes 2-3 business days. International orders deliver within 5-10 business days. All products are shipped at ambient temperature with appropriate packaging to ensure stability.

How should I store this recombinant protein?

Lyophilized proteins should be stored at -20°C to -80°C upon receipt. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Shelf life is 12 months from date of receipt when stored as recommended.

What quality controls are performed on your products?

Each product undergoes SDS-PAGE purity analysis (typically >85-95%), endotoxin testing, and bioactivity validation. Products are validated for ELISA, Western Blot, and SPR/BLI applications as specified on this product page. A Certificate of Analysis (CoA) is available upon request.
