Basigin, also called CD147 or EMMPRIN, is a transmembrane glycoprotein that belongs to
the immunoglobulin superfamily. Basigin has isoforms; the common form (basigin or basigin …

Mammalian spermatozoa are coated with a thick glycocalyx that is assembled during sperm
development, maturation, and upon contact with seminal fluid. The sperm glycocalyx is …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) comprise a family of 23 zinc-dependent enzymes
involved in various pathologic and physiologic processes. In cancer, MMPs contribute to …

Abstract Cluster of differentiation 147 (CD147) or extracellular matrix metalloproteinase
inducer (EMMPRIN) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that induces the synthesis of matrix …

Glycosylation of glycoproteins is one of many molecular changes that accompany malignant
transformation. Post-translational modifications of proteins are closely associated with the …

To explore the molecular mechanisms of meat quality, four high-quality (HQ) samples and
four low-quality (LQ) samples from longissimus dorsi muscles were chosen, and tandem …

The blood-testis barrier (BTB) is found between adjacent Sertoli cells in the testis where it
creates a unique microenvironment for the development and maturation of meiotic and …

Alternative splicing has essential roles in development. Remarkably, spermatogenic cells
express more alternatively spliced RNAs compared to most whole tissues; however …

Basigin is a highly glycosylated transmembrane protein that was originally identified as a
product of tumor cells. Basigin is a potent inducer of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and …

ABSTRACT CD147, also known as extracellular matrix metalloproteinase inducer
(EMMPRIN) or basigin, is expressed in a variety of cell types. It is involved in the regulation …
