products description :
KAI1 Antibody: KAI1 was initially identified from a T-cell activation study as a four-transmembrane protein that plays an accessory role in T-cell activation, and was later determined to act as a cancer metastasis suppressor gene. This protein is ubiquitously expressed at moderate to high levels in most tissues, but its expression is downregulated during tumor progression. The loss of KAI1 and p53 is associated with poor survival for prostate and other cancer patients. Recently, KAI1 was found to interact with DARC, the Duffy antigen for chemokines using a yeast two hybrid screen. It is thought that tumor cells dislodged from the primary tumor and expressing KAI1 interact with DARC proteins expressed on vascular cells, transmitting a senescent signal to the tumor cells, while tumor cells that have lost KAI1 expression can proliferate and potentially give rise to metastases. At least two isoforms of KAI1 are known to exist.

ncbi summary :
This metastasis suppressor gene product is a membrane glycoprotein that is a member of the transmembrane 4 superfamily. Expression of this gene has been shown to be downregulated in tumor progression of human cancers and can be activated by p53 through a consensus binding sequence in the promoter. Its expression and that of p53 are strongly correlated, and the loss of expression of these two proteins is associated with poor survival for prostate cancer patients. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
CD82: a widespread transmembrane protein of the tetraspanin family. A metastasis-suppressor whose decreased expression may be involved in malignant progression. Suppresses tumor metastasis of many cancers including cancers of the prostate, bladder, colon, cervix, liver, and lung (NSCLC). It is a target of estrogen receptor-mediated gene repression and is downregulated in primary human breast cancer. May be a prognostic marker for lung cancer and tumor metastatic potential. Interacts with cell surface proteins including integrins, cadherins, CD4, CD8, IGSF8. Modulates EGFR signaling. May suppress invasion by inhibiting integrin-dependent crosstalk with c-Met receptor and Src kinases. Its regulation of c-Met signaling apparently affects cancer cell migration.

Cellular Component: integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane. Molecular Function: protein binding. Disease: Prostate Cancer
