REACH authorisation
Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.
Lysate preparation:
Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10).
This means that the protein of interest is denatured.
If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

CD147 also referred to as EMMPRIN or basigin is a transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of roughly 50–60 kDa. This protein is found on the surface of many cell types including leukocytes platelets and endothelial cells and it plays a critical role in cell function related to immune responses and cellular interactions. CD147 interacts with several cellular components serving mechanical functions such as facilitating cell-to-cell communication and contributing to the stability of cell structures. The protein is ubiquitously expressed but exhibits higher levels in tissues like the brain skin and liver.
Biological function summary
CD147 engages in multiple roles beyond its mechanical functions. It functions as a part of protein complexes and is involved in processes such as regulation of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) which are pivotal in tissue remodeling and repair. It can modulate inflammatory responses and is essential for cellular signaling pathways that affect cellular metabolism and growth. The involvement of CD147 in immune responses indicates its importance in various physiological processes.
Pathways
CD147 plays a significant role in the MAPK and NF-kB signaling pathways which are fundamental for controlling inflammatory responses and cell survival. It interacts with proteins such as integrins and cyclophilins which are important for mediating these pathways. These interactions highlight CD147's impact on cellular dynamics and its potential role in modulating the cellular environment in response to external stimuli.
CD147 has been implicated in cancer promotion and progression as well as inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis. Its overexpression is often observed in tumors where it interacts with MMPs to facilitate tumor invasion and metastasis. In inflammatory conditions CD147 can influence the behavior of proteins like cytokines exacerbating symptoms and contributing to disease severity. These associations make CD147 a potential target for therapeutic intervention in cancer and inflammatory diseases.
