Biochem/physiol Actions

Anthrax toxin receptor (ANTXR2)/ capillary morphogenesis protein gene-2 (CMG2) has been implicated in basement-membrane matrix assembly and endothelial cell morphogenesis. CMG2 acts as a chief receptor for anthrax in vivo. It stimulates the anthrax toxin activity by equipping toxin with a high-affinity binding anchor on the cell membrane and a path of entry into the host cell. Mutation in the gene is associated with the development of rare, autosomal recessive disorders called, Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (JHF) and infantile systemic hyalinosis (ISH).

General description

This ELISA antibody pair detects Human CMG-2. Other species not yet determined.

Anthrax toxin receptor (ANTXR2), also known as capillary morphogenesis protein gene-2 (CMG2), is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 24q21. CMG2 is a ubiquitously expressed type I transmembrane protein. It contains von Willebrand A (vWA) domain that is involved in binding lamin and collagen IV.
