CD47

CD47, functions in cell adhesions by performing as an adhesion receptor for THBS1 on platelets, furthermore CD47 plays a role in the modulation of integrins. In addition, CD47 takes a vital part in memory formation as well as synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Receptor for SIRPA avoids maturation of immature dendritic cells and inhibits cytokine production by mature dendritic cells. CD47 prevents premature elimination of red blood cells, and it is also implicated in membrane permeability changes induced following virus infection.

CD47 produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain (19-141 a.a.) and fused to a 6 aa His Tag at C-terminus containing a total of 129 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 14.7kDa.

CD47 shows multiple bands between 18-28kDa on SDS-PAGE, reducing conditions and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
