Anti-TM4SF4 antibody, Mouse monoclonal (mouse IgM isotype) is derived from the TM4SF-11 hybridoma, produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mouse immunized with synthetic peptide from the internal region of human TM4SF4, conjugated to KLH. TM4SF4 (Transmembrane 4 L6 Family member 4) also known as ILTMP (intestine and liver tetraspan membrane protein) is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily (or tetraspanin family). It is a cell surface glycoprotein containing four transmembrane domains.
Synonyms: Anti-ILTMP; Anti-il-TMP transmembrane 4 L six family member 4
Storage: -20C
Application: Anti-TM4SF4 antibody has been used in immunoblotting.
Biochem Physiol Actions: TM4SF4 (Transmembrane 4 L6 Family member 4) can intervene density-dependent cell proliferation. TM4SF4 levels increases in non-dividing epithelial cells during their differentiation and migration of intestinal crypts. TM4SF4 levels are upregulated in 80% of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and in stomach adenocarcinoma cells. Reduction of TM4SF4 expression in HCC cell lines by stably transfecting TM4SF4 antisense plasmid caused significant inhibition of cell proliferation.
