MCAM, also known as cell surface glycoprotein MUC18, is an integral membrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is associated with various carcinomas such as tumor progression, metastasis and may be involved in embryonic neural development. This protein also plays a role in cell adhesion, and in cohesion of the endothelial monolayer at intercellular junctions in vascular tissue. Recombinant human MCAM protein, fused to His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa24-559 of human MCAM protein, fused to His-Tag at C-terminal, expressed in insect cell.
