Background
CD74 molecule (CD74), also known as the invariant chain, is a non-polymorphic transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a central role in the immune system by acting as a molecular chaperone for major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II) molecules. It stabilizes peptide-free MHC II alpha/beta heterodimers after their synthesis, promotes their exit from the endoplasmic reticulum, and directs them to endocytic compartments for antigen processing and presentation. Beyond its chaperone function, CD74 serves as a high-affinity cell surface receptor for macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and d-dopachrome tautomerase (D-DT/MIF2), as well as a functional receptor for tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1), and regulates the transport of the angiotensin II type I receptor. Through interactions with these ligands and signaling partners such as CD44, CD74 activates multiple intracellular pathways—including PI3K/Akt, AMPK, NF-κB, and ERK—that influence B cell maturation, cell proliferation, and energy metabolism. Dysregulation of CD74 is implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including ischemic heart disease, atherosclerosis, hepatic fibrosis, immunological disorders, and various cancers.

Data

The purified protein was run on 15% SDS-PAGE at reducing conditions. The gel was then stained with Coomassie brilliant blue and destained.

Western Blotting using HRP conjugated 6xHis antibody.
Note: The molecular weight of the protein as observed on SDS-PACGE under reducing conditions may differ from its predicted value, due to glycosylation.
