| Background | Extracellular Matrix Metalloproteinase Inducer (EMMPRIN) belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily, which has the homology to both the immunoglobulin V domain and MHC class II antigen β-chain. EMMPRIN is a transmembrane glycoprotein with different forms, resulting from different modes of glycosylation and N-terminal sequence variants. EMMPRIN can be expressed in breast cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma, glioma, lymphoma, lung, bladder, and melanoma carcinomas cells. EMMPRIN promotes invasion, metastasis, growth, and survival of malignants cells, serves as a receptor for extracellular cyclophilinthe, may play a role in signal transduction. |
