This DDR1 antibody was produced from a rabbit immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 396-430 amino acids from the central region of mouse Ddr1.
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, but also tumor cell invasion. Promotes smooth muscle cell migration, and thereby contributes to arterial wound healing. Phosphorylates PTPN11 (By similarity). Required for normal blastocyst implantation during pregnancy, for normal mammary gland differentiation and normal lactation. Required for normal ear morphology and normal hearing.
