Uniprot Function Description
Promotes EGF-induced cell migration by displacing tensin TNS3 from the cytoplasmic tail of integrin ITGB1 which results in dissociation of TNS3 from focal adhesions, disassembly of actin stress fibers and initiation of cell migration (PubMed:17643115). Suppresses ligand-induced degradation of EGFR by reducing EGFR ubiquitination in the presence of EGF (PubMed:23774213). Increases MET protein stability by inhibiting MET endocytosis and subsequent lysosomal degradation which leads to increased cell survival, proliferation and migration (PubMed:24814316).
Sample type
Recommended sample types are human plasma and serum. For other sample types e.g cerebrospinal fluid, (CSF), tissue or cell lysate, please contact support@olink.com for more information. Please note that protein expression levels are expected to vary in different sample types and certain assays may be affected by interfering substances such as hemolysate.
Precision
Precision (repeatability) is calculated from linearized NPX values over LOD.
Analytical measuring range
The technical data reported below refers to the measured value in the in vitro validation assays run using known concentrations of recombinant antigen.
Dilution factor
For optimal assay readout, Olink assays are run using different dilutions of the original samples e.g. undiluted, 1:10, or higher. The dilution factor for this assay is noted below and should be taken into account when estimating the appropriate addressable biological concentration of the protein based on the in vitro validation data.
