Preparation and Storage

Background: ASAM

ASAM (Adipocyte-specific adhesion molecule; also ACAM, CLMP, Asp5 and CXADR-like protein) is a 44-48 kDa member of the CTX family of molecules. It is expressed on adipocytes as well as select epithelial cells such as respiratory and intestinal epithelium, keratinocytes and Sertoli cells. ASAM appears to contribute to tight junction formation, and may promote the transition of preadipocytes to adipocytes. Mature mouse ASAM is a 356 amino acid (aa) type I transmembrane glycoprotein. It contains a 217 aa extracellular region (aa 18-234) that is characterized by the presence of two C2 type Ig-like domains (aa 18-126 and 134-223), and possesses a C-terminal 118 aa cytoplasmic domain. The extracellular region of mouse ASAM (aa 18-234) shares 97% and 100% aa sequence identity with human and rat ASAM, respectively.
