Simple Plex Control for Human Nectin-2/CD112

INTENDED USE AND DESCRIPTION: For use a quantitative control for the determination of human and NHP Nectin-2/CD112 concentrations in biological fluids. Controls are supplied lyophilized. Please refer to the lot specific certificate of analysis and Simple Plex Lyophilized Quality Control product insert for additional information.

Nectins are type I transmembrane glycoproteins that are calcium-independent immunoglobulin (Ig)-like cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). Homology has led to their designation as poliovirus receptor-related (PRR) proteins, but nectins do not bind poliovirus. The extracellular domains of the nectin family form cis-homodimers (same cell), followed by homophilic or heterophilic trans-dimers (across cells) that organize intercellular junctions. Nectin-1, also known as CD111, PRR1 and herpes virus entry mediator C (HVEC) has a secreted splice variant. Nectin-1, Nectin-2 (CD112, PRR2, HVEB) and Nectin-3 (PRR3) are concentrated in adherens junctions and exist on neurons, endothelial cells, epithelial cells and fibroblasts. Nectin-4 is mainly expressed in the placenta; a soluble form is generated via the action of TACE/ADAM17.
