Polyclonal Anti-OPCML

Background
Opioid-binding protein/cell adhesion molecule-like (OPCML), (also called opioid-binding cell adhesion molecule (OBCAM)). OPCML is a member of the IgLON family of immunoglobulin (Ig) domain-containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell adhesion molecules, as an excellent candidate for the 11q25 ovarian cancer TSG in EOC. The OPCML gene comprises 7 exons, spans approximately 600 kb, and is transcribed from telomere to centromere . And due to the lack of transmembrane domains necessary for signal transduction, it is improbable that OBCAM acts independently as an opioid receptor; more likely, it plays an important accessory role in opioid receptor function.
