AffiAB® Anti-Hu CD167a Purified

CD167a, also known as e.g. discoidin domain receptor tyrosine kinase 1 (DDR1), tyrosine kinase receptor E (TRKE), cell adhesion kinase (CAK), or neuroepithelial tyrosine kinase 4 (NEP, NTRK4), is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase expressed predominantly in epithelial cells. It has been shown to be significantly overexpressed in several human tumors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms of this protein have been described. After binding to fibrilar collagens I, II, III, V, or basement membrane collagens IV and VIII, CD167a becomes activated and autophosphorylated and transduces collagen-induced signaling.
