TIMP1 (tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1) is a glycoprotein and is a member of TIMP family of endogenous MMP (matrix metalloproteinase) inhibitors. Humans contain four TIMPs. All TIMPs contain an N-terminal of 125 residues, a 65-residue C-terminal, and both these domains contain three disulfide bonds. The N-terminal domain inhibits MMPs by folding into a separate unit. TIMP1 is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome Xp11.23.
CD147, also known as Basigin (BSG), or extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN). The human basigin protein contains 269 amino acids that form two heavily glycosylated C2 type immunoglobulin-like domains at the N-terminal extracellular
Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) are proteins located on the cell surface involved with the binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the process called cell adhesion. Cell adhesion molecule 1 is a single-pass type I membrane p
Members of the Dickkopf-related protein family (DKK-1, -2, -3, and -4) are secreted proteins with two cysteine-rich domains separated by a linker region. And DKK3 has been proposed as tumor suppressor gene and a marker for tumor blood vessels. DKK3 i
Transferrin is encoded by the TF gene that is mapped to human chromosome 3q22.1. It is a glycoprotein containing homologous iron-binding domains at N-terminal and C-terminal ends. Transferrin has a molecular weight of 80,000 Da and belongs to the tra
CD36 (Cluster of Differentiation 36), also known as platelet membrane glycoprotein IV (GPIV), fatty acid translocase (FAT), thrombospondin receptor, collagen receptor, and scavenger receptor class B, member 3 (SRB3), is a member of the class B scaven
Cluster of differentiation 23 (CD23), also known as Low affinity immunoglobulin epsilon Fc receptor (FCER2), C-type lectin domain family 4 member J (CLEC4J), Fc-epsilon-RII (FcepsilonRII), Immunoglobulin E-binding factor (IGEBF), is the low-affinity
