Rabbit anti-Human LYVE1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9Y5Y7

Target Species

Human

Target Name

LYVE1

Target Full Name

Lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronic acid receptor 1

Target Function

Ligand-specific transporter trafficking between intracellular organelles (TGN) and the plasma membrane. Plays a role in autocrine regulation of cell growth mediated by growth regulators containing cell surface retention sequence binding (CRS). May act as a hyaluronan (HA) transporter, either mediating its uptake for catabolism within lymphatic endothelial cells themselves, or its transport into the lumen of afferent lymphatic vessels for subsequent re-uptake and degradation in lymph nodes.

Target Subcellular Location

Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note=Localized to the plasma membrane and in vesicles near extranuclear membranes which may represent trans-Golgi network (TGN) and endosomes/prelysosomeal compartments. Undergoes ligand-dependent internalization and recycling at the cell surface.

Target Tissue Specificity

Mainly expressed in endothelial cells lining lymphatic vessels.

Target Synonyms

Cell surface retention sequence-binding protein 1; CRSBP 1; CRSBP-1; CRSBP1; extracellular link domain containing 1; extracellular link domain-containing 1; Extracellular link domain-containing protein 1; HAR; Hyaluronic acid receptor; Lymphatic endothelium specific hyaluronan receptor ; lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronan receptor 1; Lymphatic vessel endothelial hyaluronic acid receptor 1; LYVE 1; LYVE-1; LYVE1; LYVE1_HUMAN; XLKD1

Target Background

This gene encodes a type I integral membrane glycoprotein. The encoded protein acts as a receptor and binds to both soluble and immobilized hyaluronan. This protein may function in lymphatic hyaluronan transport and have a role in tumor metastasis.
