Function | Is a positive regulator of the BMP signaling pathway, required for proper chondrogenesis, osteogenesis and skeletal development. It acts as a coreceptor for BMP ligands, particularly BMP2 and BMP4, facilitating their interactions with BMP type I receptors (PubMed:33308444). It is required for ligand-induced recruitment of BMP receptors to lipid rafts (By similarity). Binds to TGFBR2 and activates TGFB signaling. In lung cancer cells, could serve as an endogenous autocrine and paracrine ligand of TGFBR2, which could regulate TGFBR2 signaling and hence modulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition and cancer progression. |
Cellular Location | Secreted. Cell surface |
Tissue Location | Highly expressed in osteoblasts. In normal lung, mainly expressed in bronchial epithelial cells. Tends to be up- regulated in lung cancer cells. |

Background
SCUBE3 Antibody: SCUBE3 is a member of a family of secreted glycoproteins that contain N-terminal EGF-like repeats and C-terminal cysteine-rich motifs and CUB domain and is highly expressed in primary osteoblasts and bones, and to a lesser extent in heart (1,2). Other studies have shown that overexpression of SCUBE3 in mice induced cardiac hypertrophy, suggesting that it may also play a role in the regulation of cardiac growth. SCUBE3 has been shown to be an endogenous TGF-beta receptor ligand (3,4) and is thought to promote lung cancer cell mobility and invasiveness. In lung cancer cells, the secreted SCUBE3 protein was cleaved by MMP2 and MMP9, allowing the activation of the TGF-beta receptor, the increase of Smad2/3 transcriptional activity and the upregulation of expression of proteins such as TGF-beta1, VEGF, Snail, and Slug.
