Rabbit anti-Human OLFM4 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q6UX06

Target Species

Human

Target Name

OLFM4

Target Full Name

Olfactomedin-4

Target Function

May promote proliferation of pancreatic cancer cells by favoring the transition from the S to G2/M phase. In myeloid leukemic cell lines, inhibits cell growth and induces cell differentiation and apoptosis. May play a role in the inhibition of EIF4EBP1 phosphorylation/deactivation. Facilitates cell adhesion, most probably through interaction with cell surface lectins and cadherin.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted, extracellular space. Mitochondrion.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed during myeloid lineage development. Much higher expression in bone marrow neutrophils than in peripheral blood neutrophils (at protein level). Strongly expressed in the prostate, small intestine and colon and moderately expressed in the bone mar

Target Synonyms

Antiapoptotic protein GW112; bA209J19.1; G-CSF-stimulated clone 1 protein; GC1; GW112; hGC 1; hGC-1; hOLfD; KIAA4294; olfactomedin 4; Olfactomedin-4; OlfD; OLFM4; OLFM4_HUMAN; OLM4; UNQ362

Target Background

This gene was originally cloned from human myeloblasts and found to be selectively expressed in inflammed colonic epithelium. This gene encodes a member of the olfactomedin family. The encoded protein is an antiapoptotic factor that promotes tumor growth and is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein that facilitates cell adhesion.
