Biological background

Protein function (datasheet): Tyrosine kinase that functions as cell surface receptor for fibrillar collagen and regulates cell attachment to the extracellular matrix, remodeling of the extracellular matrix, cell migration, differentiation, survival and cell proliferation. Collagen binding triggers a signaling pathway that involves SRC and leads to the activation of MAP kinases. Regulates remodeling of the extracellular matrix by up-regulation of the matrix metalloproteinases MMP2, MMP7 and MMP9, and thereby facilitates cell migration and wound healing. Required for normal blastocyst implantation during pregnancy, for normal mammary gland differentiation and normal lactation. Required for normal ear morphology and normal hearing (By similarity). Promotes smooth muscle cell migration, and thereby contributes to arterial wound healing. Also plays a role in tumor cell invasion. Phosphorylates PTPN11. .

Scientific background (datasheet): DDR1 (Discoidin domain receptor family, member 1) also known as NEP, EDDR1, NTRK4, TRKE, DDR, CAK or RTK6, is a human gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a RTK that is widely expressed in normal and transformed epithelial cells and is activated by various types of collagen.This protein belongs to a subfamily of tyrosine kinase receptors with a homology region to the Dictyostelium discoideum protein discoidin I in their extracellular domain.The DDR1 gene is mapped on 6p21.33. The fibrillar collagens and immobilized collagen activated DDR1 receptor phosphorylation after prolonged treatment. Bhatt et al. (2000) showed that Ddr1 was highly expressed in the cerebellum of developing and adult mouse brain, and that both Ddr1 and collagen IV were highly expressed in the pial layer of the cerebellar cortex. Cocultures of collagen I- and IV-expressing mouse pial cells with Ddr1-expressing granule cells resulted in granule cell neurite extension. Inhibition of collagen-Ddr1signaling reduced granule cell neurite elongation.

Cellular localization (datasheet): Isoform 1: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Tissue details (datasheet): Detected in T-47D, MDA-MB-175 and HBL-100 breast carcinoma cells, A-431 epidermoid carcinoma cells, SW48 and SNU-C2B colon carcinoma cells and Hs 294T melanoma cells (at protein level). Expressed at low levels in most adult tissues and is highest in the brain, lung, placenta and kidney. Lower levels of expression are detected in melanocytes, heart, liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas. Abundant in breast carcinoma cell lines. In the colonic mucosa, expressed in epithelia but not in the connective tissue of the lamina propria. In the thyroid gland, expressed in the epithelium of the thyroid follicles. In pancreas, expressed in the islets of Langerhans cells, but not in the surrounding epithelial cells of the exocrine pancreas. In kidney, expressed in the epithelia of the distal tubules. Not expressed in connective tissue, endothelial cells, adipose tissue, muscle cells or cells of hematopoietic origin. .

Sequence similarities (datasheet): Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. Insulin receptor subfamily.

Research relevance and current trends

• Commonly studied in contexts related to Cancer,Cardiogenesis,Cardiovascular,Neuroscience,Neurotransmission,Protein Phosphorylation,Receptor Tyrosine Kinases,Receptors / Channels,Signal Transduction,Tyrosine Kinases.
• Supports comparative expression analysis across conditions, genotypes, or treatments when paired with appropriate controls.
• Useful for confirming target presence and subcellular distribution using orthogonal readouts (e.g., microscopy vs. immunoblotting).

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): Compare relative target abundance and apparent size/isoforms across samples; interpret bands in light of expected MW and potential PTMs.
• ELISA: Measure target abundance in compatible matrices using a standard-curve readout; ensure dilution linearity and appropriate controls.
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Assess tissue distribution and cell-type patterns; interpret staining with appropriate negative controls and antigen context.
• Flow cytometry: Quantify target-positive populations in single-cell suspensions; pair with viability and isotype/FMO controls conceptually.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Consider isoforms, post-translational modifications, and processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or localization.
• Cross-reactivity (datasheet): No cross-reactivity with other proteins
• Use appropriate positive and negative controls (e.g., KO/KD, blocking peptide, or isotype controls) to support specificity interpretation.

As a polyclonal antibody, this reagent may recognize multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may require careful specificity controls.
