    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    MXRA7 (F7P7E) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total MXRA7 protein. This antibody detects a nonspecific band at 85 kDa in some cell lines.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human MXRA7 protein.

    Background

    Tumor cells possess a notorious ability to change the extracellular matrix (ECM). This hijacking of ECM infrastructure enables tumor cells to manipulate the tumor microenvironment (TME), allowing cancer growth and metastasis (1,2). The interactions between tumor cells, the ECM, and other cells, including immune cells and fibroblasts, coordinate signaling that can drive tumor progression and affect response to therapies (3). A transcriptional co-expression analysis across human cDNA libraries identified a gene family called Matrix remodeling associated genes (MXRAs) (4). Several MXRAs have been shown to coordinate biological processes, such as cell adhesion, matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, and inflammation (3,4). Interestingly, there is no structural homology between MXRA family members (4). MXRA7 was originally shown to be highly expressed in leukemias (5) and some solid tumor types (6). MXRA7 can enhance the expression of matrix remodeling-related genes (3-6). MXRA7 also has a role in immune cell biology and inflammation. Studies using siRNA knockdown or transgenic MXRA7 knockout mice demonstrate that MXRA7 is involved in megakaryocyte differentiation and platelet production (7). Furthermore, MXRA7 facilitates monocyte-to-macrophage differentiation, likely through the NF-kappaB signaling pathway (8). The precise structure and functional significance of MXRA7 is still not completely understood, and more investigation is necessary, particularly in the context of tumor biology, immune response, and potential cancer therapies.
