Human GPNMB/NMB/HGFIN Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Fc-fusion, Recombinant

Description

GPNMB (transmembrane glycoprotein NMB), also known as Osteoactivin and HGFIN (hematopoietic growth factor-inducible neurokinin 1 ), is a single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein of the NMB/pMEL­17 family. GPNMB is expressed in many cell types, including osteoclasts, macrophages, fibroblasts, dendritic cells, retinal pigment epithelial cells, melanocytes and tumor cells. It is often associated with the endosomal/lysosomal compartment.  GPNMB is composed of a 465 aa luminal/extracellular domain (ECD), a transmembrane segment and a 53 aa cytoplasmic tail. The ECD contains a heparin­binding motif, multiple glycosylation sites, an RGD motif and an 88 aa PKD domain.  The cytoplasmic tail has an ITAM (Y­x­x­I) and lysosomal targeting (L­L) motif. GPNMB may paly a role in osteoblast maturation, cell adhesion and migration. GPNMB may mediate BMP-2 effects on osteoblast differentiation and function. GPNMB may also participates in bone mineralization, and acts as a negative regulator of inflammation in macrophages. GPNMB expression downregulates the macrophage inflammatory response by inhibiting IL­6 and IL­12 production.  GPNMB is reported to bind to heparan sulfate­proteoglycan and integrins in mice. GPNMB is expressed at high levels in normal and inflammatory liver macrophages implicating a role in acute liver injury. GPNMB may also play a role in triggering renal interstitial fibrosis through activation of matrix metalloproteinase expression and collagen remodeling. GPNMB is expressed in human breast cancers and is capable of promoting breast cancer.
