• Target description: Motile sperm domain-containing protein 2 (UniProt: Q8NHP6; also known as MOSPD2) is encoded by the MOSPD2 gene (Gene ID: 158747) in human. MOSPD2 is as single-pass membrane protein that promotes migration of primary monocytes and neutrophils, in response to various chemokines. Its transmembrane domain resides in amino acids 497-517. It is highly expressed in plasma membrane of CD14+ monocytes, and at lower levels in neutrophils. It does not display any significant expression in B-cells or T-cells. MOSPD2 expression is reported to be highly elevated in invasive and metastatic breast cancer while it is absent or residual in normal tissue and in primary in situ tumors. It is shown to play a key role in the migration and metastasis of breast cancer cells. Silencing of gene expression in different breast cancer cell lines significantly inhibits migration and invasion and downstream EGFR signaling cascades an MDA‐231 cells with silenced MOSPD2 display impaired ability to spread to the lungs. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.
