CRTAM, also known as cytotoxic and regulatory T-cell molecule, is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that complies with the structural characteristics of the JAM family of proteins and is phylogenetically more closely related to nectin-like proteins. It is a molecule involved in epithelial cell adhesion. This protein interacts with CADM1 promotes natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity and interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion by CD8+ cells in vitro as well as NK cell-mediated rejection of tumors expressing CADM3 in vivo. Recombinant human CRTAM, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
