Preparation and Storage

Background: CD90/Thy1

CD90 (also Thy1/Thymus cell antigen 1) is a 25-35 kDa glycoprotein member of the Immunoglobulin superfamily of molecules. It is expressed on neurons, ovarian follicular cells, endothelial cells, fibroblasts and circulating CD34⁺ stem cells, and appears to act as an adhesion molecule. CD90 is known to bind to integrins beta 2, beta 5 and beta 3, the latter often accompanied by additional binding to syndecan-4. In the postnatal nervous system, this inhibits neurite outgrowth while stabilizing newly formed axonal networks. In the vascular system, CD90 mediates the extravasation of leukocytes. And in lung, a CD90: alpha v beta 5 interaction inhibits the extracellular activation of latent TGF-beta. Mature human CD90 is a 111 amino acid (aa) GPI-linked protein (aa 20-130). It contains one V-type Ig-like domain (aa 20-126) with a heparin-binding motif (aa 56-60), and a GPI-anchor amidated cysteine at position 130. The integrin binding site consists of an Arg35LeuAsp37 tripeptide. CD90 apparently forms 50‑60 kDa homodimers and 150 kDa homomultimers. There is one potential isoform variant that contains a 12 aa substitution for aa 1-13. Over aa 20-141, human CD90 shares 64% aa identity with mouse CD90 and 84% or 83% with horse and dog respectively.
