Scientific Data Images for Recombinant Human FAP Protein, CF

Recombinant Human Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha/FAP Protein SEC-MALS.

Recombinant Human FAP/His (Catalog # 3715-SE) has a molecular weight (MW) of 176.3 kDa as analyzed by SEC-MALS, suggesting that this protein is a homodimer. MW may differ from predicted MW due to post-translational modifications (PTMs) present (i.e. Glycosylation).

Background: Fibroblast Activation Protein alpha/FAP

FAP (also known as seprase) is a 95 kDa Type II transmembrane serine protease that is structurally related to dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV/CD26) (1, 2). Within the extracellular domain (ECD), human FAP shares 90% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat FAP (3, 4). Alternative splicing of human FAP generates a truncated isoform that consists of the C-terminal 239 residues of the ECD. A soluble and enzymatically active form of FAP known as antiplasmin-cleaving enzyme (APCE) circulates in human plasma (4). FAP is expressed on reactive stromal fibroblasts in tumor tissue and wound healing and on synoviocytes in rheumatoid arthritis (1, 6-8). It exhibits dipeptidyl peptidase activity with substrate specificity similar to DPPIV, which is specific for N-terminal Xaa-Pro sequences (6, 9). FAP is also an endopeptidase that can degrade Gelatin, Collagens I and IV, Fibronectin, and Laminin (1, 6, 9) as well as several peptide hormones (e.g. Neuropeptide Y, Brain Natriuretic Peptide, Substance P, Peptide YY, and Incretins) (10). The enzymatic activity is dependent on FAP association with DPPIV on the cell surface (6, 9, 11, 12). The matrix-dedgrading activity of FAP contributes to tumor cell migration and invasion (11-14). In addition, FAP can enhance tumor cell growth by limiting the development of anti-tumor immunity (15).
