Anti-IGPR-1 Antibody

IGPR-1 or Immunoglobulin and proline-rich receptor 1, also called Transmembrane and immunoglobulin domain-containing protein 2 and encoded by the human gene TMIGD2/IGPR1 is a widely expressed epithelial and endothelial membrane protein that plays a role in cell-cell interactions, cell migration and angiogenesis. IGPR-1 regulates cellular morphology, homophilic cell aggregation, and cell-cell interaction. IGPR-1 activity also modulates actin stress fiber formation and focal adhesion and reduces cell migration. Silencing of expression of IGPR-1 by small interfering RNA (siRNA) and by ectopic overexpression in endothelial cells showed that IGPR-1 regulates capillary tube formation in vitro, and in B16F melanoma cells engineered to express IGPR-1 displayed extensive angiogenesis in the mouse Matrigel angiogenesis model. Moreover, IGPR-1, through its proline-rich cytoplasmic domain, associates with multiple Src homology 3 (SH3)-containing signaling proteins, including SH3 protein interacting with Nck (SPIN90/WISH), bullous pemphigoid antigen-1, and calcium channel β2.
