Studies have revealed OLFM4 to play important roles in several cellular functions such as neurogenesis, cell adhesion, cell-cycle regulation, and tumorigenesis. Moreover, studies have suggested OLFM4 to serve as a robust biomarker in studying stem cells and cancer in small intestines, stomach, and colon.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe OLFM4 protein also known as Olfactomedin 4 or GW112 has a molecular weight of around 57 kDa. It is a glycoprotein expressed mainly in human and some non-human primate tissues including the prostate and gastrointestinal tract. OLFM4 is a secreted protein found in various cells including those of the bone marrow and esophagus. It plays a role in innate immunity and is a part of the olfactomedin family which is involved in cell adhesion and migration processes.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nOLFM4 functions in inhibiting bacterial growth by interfering with bacterial adhesion and survival. It is not part of a larger protein complex but interacts with cell surface proteins to exert its effects. OLFM4 acts in the regulation of cell differentiation and growth playing a significant part in maintaining the stem cell milieu in the intestine.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nOLFM4 participates in cellular defense mechanisms primarily against microbial pathogens by involving in the activation of immune response pathways. It is associated with pathways such as the NF-kB signaling and Janus kinase (JAK) pathways. Through these pathways OLFM4 might interact with cytokines and other inflammatory mediators or modulators.\u003cbr\u003e\nOLFM4 relates to cancer particularly gastric and colorectal cancer where its expression levels serve as potential biomarkers for disease progression. Additionally it associates with inflammatory bowel diseases impacting the mucosal immune response. In cancer OLFM4's interaction with proteins like MMP isoforms (matrix metalloproteinases) can influence tumor metastasis and invasiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843564687529,"sku":"ab267805","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab267805","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
