CD34 is a single­pass, type I transmembrane protein belonging to the CD34 family that includes Podocalyxin, and Endoglycan. CD34 is a well-known hematopoietic progenitor cell antigen. It is a sialomucin­like molecule that is heavily glycosylated with 9 potential N-linked glycosylation sites in the extracellular domain.  In the cytoplasmic region, CD34 contains serine residues that can be phosphorylated by PKC (protein kinase C), resulting in the recruitment of the hematopoietic adapter proteins and the activation of CD34 signaling pathways. CD34 is expressed on primitive hematopoietic stem cells and down-regulated as they differentiate into mature cells. The precise function of CD34 remains unclear.  The pattern of CD34 expression suggests that it plays an important role in hematopoiesis. CD34 is found on multipotent precursors, bone marrow stromal cells, embryonic fibroblasts, vascular endothelia, mesenchymal stem cells, and some tumor cell lines. CD34 is involved in the adhesion of stem cells to the bone marrow extracellular matrix or to stromal cells. It can act as a scaffold for the attachment of lineage specific glycans, allowing stem cells to bind to lectins expressed by stromal cells or other marrow components. CD34 is overexpressed in many types of tumors and implicated in leukemogenesis.

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
