This protein has an approximate molecular mass of 180 kDa. MRC2 is widely expressed in various human tissues with noticeable expression in fibroblasts macrophages and certain endothelial cells. The protein plays a role in endocytosis involving the binding and internalization of collagen and other extracellular matrix components.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nMRC2 serves several significant roles including its involvement in tissue remodeling cellular migration and extracellular matrix turnover. The protein forms part of a larger complex involving other matrix-interacting proteins allowing for efficient capture and presentation of ligands. MRC2 contributes to the regulation of collagen homeostasis through interaction with collagenase and facilitates uptake and processing of collagen.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nMRC2 takes part in cellular processes connected to collagen metabolism and tissue remodeling. It is particularly involved in pathways such as the receptor-mediated endocytosis pathway and collagen degradation pathway. Interactions between MRC2 and proteins like uPAR (urokinase receptor) highlight its role in plasminogen activation which is essential for extracellular matrix breakdown and cell migration.\u003cbr\u003e\nMRC2 displays connection to tissue fibrosis and cancer metastasis. In fibrosis dysregulation of MRC2 can lead to excessive collagen deposition which contributes to disease progression. In cancer abnormal MRC2 activity associates with enhanced tumor cell invasion and metastasis. Additionally MRC2's interaction with uPAR suggests its involvement in tumor progression further emphasizing its potential as a therapeutic target for disease modulation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843874640041,"sku":"ab112386","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab112386","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
