Immunogen | HBJ127 was obtained from hybridomas generated by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and spleen cells from mice which had been immunized with T24 hyman bladder cancer cells. |
Specificity | HBJ127 binds to the CD98 heavy chain at an epitope consisting of residues AFS (aa 442-444) (Itoh et al, 2007). The antibody has not been shown to cross-react with other species. CD98 is expressed at high levels on monocytes and at very low level on peripheral blood T and B lymphocytes, splenocytes, NK cells and granulocytes. CD98 is a disulfide-linked and glycosylated type II integral membrane protein. This protein has roles in normal and neoplastic cell growth and is required for the function of light chain amino acid transporters. It is also involved in sodium-independent transport of large neitral amino acids and in guiding and targeting LAT1 and LAT2 to the plasma membrane. When associated with SLC7A6 or SLC7A7, CD98 acts as an arginine/glutamine exchanger. |

CD98 - cell surface glycoprotein that promotes cell adhesion, growth, and survival CD98 is a heterodimeric glycoprotein that contains an 80 kDa heavy chain and a 40 kDa light chain. The CD98 heavy chain is also known as the 4F2 antigen heavy chain or FRP-1, and it is encoded by the SLC3A2 gene. The CD98 heavy chain is capable of... Read full blog post. |
xCT: Friend or Foe? There are two opposing sides to the controversial cysteine/glutamate antiporter. On one hand, it can be viewed a guardian of the cell, protecting it from the damaging oxidative stress that can cause cell death and even cancer. But, conversely, it has ... Read full blog post. |
