NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a leucine-rich transmembrane glycoprotein that may be involved in cell adhesion. The encoded protein is an oncofetal antigen that is specific to trophoblast cells. In adults this protein is highly expressed in many tumor cells and is associated with poor clinical outcome in numerous cancers. Alternate splicing in the 5' UTR results in multiple transcript variants that encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Uniprot Description
Subcellular location: Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein
Potential.
Tissue specificity: Expressed by all types of trophoblasts as early as 9 weeks of development. Specific for trophoblastic cells except for amniotic epithelium. In adult tissues, the expression is limited to a few epithelial cell types but is found on a variety of carcinoma.
Miscellaneous: Antigen 5T4 is overexpressed by a wide spectrum of cancers, including colorectal, ovarian and gastric, but with a limited normal tissue expression. Could be used for tumor immunotherapy.
Sequence similarities: Contains 6 LRR (leucine-rich) repeats.Contains 1 LRRCT domain.Contains 1 LRRNT domain.

Product Notes
The 5T4 tpbg (Catalog #AAA188227) is a Recombinant Protein produced from HEK293 cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The amino acid sequence is listed below: 5T4 (Ser32-Ser 355) + 6×His tag. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "5T4, Recombinant Protein" 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
