Related Product Information for CXADR recombinant protein

Background: CXADR (coxsackie virus and adenovirus receptor), also known as CAR, is a type I  transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the CTX family of the Ig superfamily, and is essential for normal cardiac development in the mouse. Proposed as a homophilic cell adhesion molecule, CXADR is a component of the epithelial apical junction complex that is essential for the tight junction integrity, and probably involved in transepithelial migration of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN). Mature mouse CXADR structrually comprises a 218 aa extracellular domain (ECD) with a V-type (D1) and a C2-type (D2) Ig-like domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment and a 107 aa intracellular domain, among which, D1 is thought to be responsible for homodimer formation in trans within tight junctions. The ECD of mouse CXADR shares 97%, 90% sequence identity with the corresponding regions of rat, human CXADR.

Description: A DNA sequence encoding the mouse CXADR (NP_001020363.1) extracellular domain (Met 1-Gly 237) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

NCBI Description

This gene encodes a protein that is part of the Cortical Thymocyte marker in Xenopus (CTX) subfamily within the immunoglobulin superfamily. Members of this subfamily, predominantly expressed on the surface of endothelial and epithelial cells, help establish cell polarity and provide a barrier function, regulating migration of immune cells. This protein, first identified as the receptor for adenovirus subgroup C and coxsakieviruses group B, is developmentally regulated and plays an important role in cardiac development. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Uniprot Description

Component of the epithelial apical junction complex that may function as a homophilic cell adhesion molecule and is essential for tight junction integrity. Also involved in transepithelial migration of leukocytes through adhesive interactions with JAML a transmembrane protein of the plasma membrane of leukocytes. The interaction between both receptors also mediates the activation of gamma-delta T-cells, a subpopulation of T-cells residing in epithelia and involved in tissue homeostasis and repair. Upon epithelial CXADR-binding, JAML induces downstream cell signaling events in gamma-delta T-cells through PI3-kinase and MAP kinases. It results in proliferation and production of cytokines and growth factors by T-cells that in turn stimulate epithelial tissues repair.
