Abstract excerpt
HAb18G/CD147 is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) and is reported to be correlated with invasion and metastasis of many cancers. The crystal structure of HAb18G/CD147 ectodomain has shown that it can form homodimers in crystal. However, the functional significance of HAb18G/CD147 dimerization remains unclear. In the present study, guided by the crystal structure, we performed...
