Embigin/EMB CDNA Clones

Embigin (EMB) is a transmembrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) proteins. It is a cell adhesion molecule that is preferentially expressed during mouse embryogenesis (1). Embigin, along with basigin and neuroplastin, form a small subgroup within the IgSF, with all members possessing a glutamate at the same position in the transmembrane domain (2). Mature, human Embigin is highly glycosylated and consists of an extracellular domain (ECD) wjth two Ig domains, a ...
