Immunoglobulin Superfamily, Member 8 (IGSF8) (Middle Region) Peptide

This is a synthetic peptide designed for use in combination with anti-IGSF8 Antibody (ARP59875_P050),. It may block above mentioned antibody from binding to its target protein in western blot and/or immunohistochecmistry under proper experimental settings. There is no guarantee for its use in other applications. Please inquire for more details.

Background Information: IGSF8 may play a key role in diverse functions ascribed to CD81 and CD9 such as oocytes fertilization or hepatitis C virus function. IGSF8 may regulate proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes. IGSF8 may be a negative regulator of cell motility: suppresses T-cell mobility coordinately with CD81, associates with CD82 to suppress prostate cancer cell migration, regulates epidermoid cell reaggregation and motility on laminin-5 with CD9 and CD81 as key linkers. IGSF8 may also play a role on integrin-dependent morphology and motility functions. IGSF8 may participate in the regulation of neurite outgrowth and maintenance of the neural network in the adult brain.

Alternative Symbols: CD316, CD81P3, EWI2, PGRL, EWI-2, KCT-4, LIR-D1
