Product Overview
Description | Recombinant Human Trophoblast glycoprotein is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ser32-Ser355 is expressed with a mouse IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus. |
Accession | Q13641 |
Synonym | 5T4 Protein; 5T4AG Protein; M6P1 Protein; WAIF1 Protein; TPBG |
Gene Background | Trophoblast glycoprotein, also known as TPBG and 5T4, it belongs to the LRR family of proteins. The C-terminus of LRR N-terminal cap (LRRNT) and LRR 1 are essential for the inhibition of the Wnt signaling pathway. TPBG may function as an inhibitor of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling by indirectly interacting with LRP6 and blocking Wnt3a-dependent LRP6 internalization. It expressed by all types of trophoblasts as early as 9 weeks of development. In adult tissues, the expression is limited to a few epithelial cell types but is found on a variety of carcinoma. |
Molecular Mass | 61.7 KDa |
Apmol Mass | 80-110 KDa, reducing conditions |
Formulation | Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4. |
Endotoxin | Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test. |
Purity | Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE. (QC verified) |
Biological Activity | Not tested |
Reconstitution | Always centrifuge tubes before opening. Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. |
Storage | Lyophilized protein should be stored at ≤ -20°C, stable for one year after receipt. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 2-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at ≤ -20°C for 3 months. |
Shipping | The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below. |
Usage | For Research Use Only |

Gene Functions References
- In extravillous trophoblasts, 5T4 may function in epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition during placentation. The role of syncytiotrophoblast 5T4 is unknown, but its abundance in shed syncytial vesicles may signify route of sensitization of the maternal immune system. PMID: 28481180
- Collectively, these findings demonstrate that an anti-5T4 antibody-drug conjugate reduces the fraction of cancer stem cells (CSC), and prevents local recurrence and suggest a novel therapeutic approach for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. PMID: 27780858
- We obtained GWS evidence (P < 2.7 x 10(-6)) for gene-based association in the total sample with a novel locus, TPBG (P = 1.8 x 10(-6)). PMID: 28183528
- In conclusion, the present study provided evidence that TPBG is involved in PDAC metastasis, and that TPBG and its associated signaling pathways may be a suitable target for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma therapy. PMID: 25738465
- 5T4 expression is mechanistically associated with the directional movement of cells through epithelial mesenchymal transition, facilitation of CXCL12/CXCR4 chemotaxis, blocking of canonical Wnt/beta-catenin while favouring non-canonical pathway signalling PMID: 25066861
- Tyrosine 325 plus the leucine-rich repeat 1 surface centered on a second exposed aromatic residue, phenylalanine 97, are essential for inhibition of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling. PMID: 24582434
