{"product_id":"nsj-v7580-20ug","title":"VISTA Antibody \/ GI24, 20 ug","description":"\u003cp\u003eVISTA \/ GI24 is a transmembrane protein expressed in bone, on embryonic stem cells (ESCs), and on tumor cell surfaces. On ESC's, Gi24 appears to positively interact with BMP-4, potentiating BMP signaling and the transition from an undifferentiated to a differentiated state. On tumor cells, Gi24 both promotes MT1-MMP expression and activity and serves as a substrate for MT1-MMP. This increases the potential for cell motility. Mature human Gi24 contains a 162aa extracellular region with one V-type Ig-like domain and a 96aa cytoplasmic domain. Human Gi24 undergoes proteolytic cleavage by MT1-MMP, generating a soluble 30kDa extracellular fragment plus a 25-30kDa membrane-bound fragment. VISTA is a negative checkpoint regulator and is expressed on myeloid cells, T-cells and human TILs (tumor infiltrating lymphocytes) on MDSCs (myeloid-derived suppressor cells) in the TME (tumor microenvironment). It is very likely both a ligand and receptor and is a promising target for cancer immunotherapy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"20 ug","offer_id":51548160688408,"sku":"V7580-20UG","price":259.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/5652\/1400\/files\/get_image_66a26092-88db-4cfe-a2b5-54329869a75b.jpg?v=1768275083","url":"https:\/\/danabiosci.com\/products\/nsj-v7580-20ug","provider":"Dana Bioscience","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
