Human Opioid-binding protein/cell adhesion molecule, OPCML ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the IgLON subfamily in the immunoglobulin protein superfamily. The encoded protein is localized in the plasma membrane and may have an accessory role in opioid receptor function. This gene has an ortholog in rat and bovine. The opioid binding-cell adhesion molecule encoded by the rat gene binds opioid alkaloids in the presence of acidic lipids, exhibits selectivity for mu ligands and acts as a GPI-anchored protein. Since the encoded protein is highly conserved in species during evolution, it may have a fundamental role in mammalian systems. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
OPCML: Binds opioids in the presence of acidic lipids; probably involved in cell contact. Defects in OPCML are a cause of susceptibility to ovarian cancer (OC). Ovarian cancer common malignancy originating from ovarian tissue. Although many histologic types of ovarian neoplasms have been described, epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the most common form. Ovarian cancers are often asymptomatic and the recognized signs and symptoms, even of late- stage disease, are vague. Consequently, most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. IgLON family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Membrane protein, GPI anchor; Receptor, misc.
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11q25
Cellular Component: neuron projection; cell surface; cell soma; plasma membrane; intercellular junction
Biological Process: cell-cell adhesion; regulation of neurogenesis; neuron recognition; cell adhesion
Disease: Ovarian Cancer

Product Notes
The Human OPCML opcml (Catalog #AAA9323696) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA9323696 ELISA Kit recognizes Human OPCML. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "opioid binding protein/cell adhesion molecule-like, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
