产品概述:The anterior gradient protein-2 (AGR2) is a cancer cell marker specifically up-regulated in response to depletion of serum and oxygen. It has been identified as a tumor marker in primary and secondary cancer lesions, and as a marker for detection of circulating tumor cells. Elevated levels of AGR2 are known to increase the metastatic potential of cancer cells (1). Specifically, AGR2 may serve as a useful molecular marker and/or potential therapeutic target for hormone-responsive breast tumours (2). AGR2 expression promotes tumor growth in esophageal adenocarcinoma cells as well. Expression was detected in proliferating and differentiated intestinal cells of secretory lineage, suggesting that AGR2 may be important for the growth and development of the intestine as well as esophageal adenocarcinomas (3).
靶点/蛋白:A synthetic peptide corresponding to residues in human AGR2 was used as an immunogen.

详情:FunctionRequired for MUC2 post-transcriptional synthesis and secretion. May play a role in the production of mucus by intestinal cells (By similarity). Proto-oncogene that may play a role in cell migration, cell differentiation and cell growth.Cellular_LocationSecreted.
