Background

Human Syndecan-1 (also known as CD138) is a variably glycosylated, dimeric, type I transmembrane (TM) protein that belongs to the Syndecan family. It is synthesized as a 310 amino acid (aa) precursor that contains a 17 aa signal sequence, a 234 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 25 aa TM segment, and a 34 aa cytoplasmic region. The ECD shows various degrees of heparan sulfate and chondroitin sulfate modification, leading to native molecular weights for Syndecan-1 of 120 - 200 kDa. Proteolytic cleavage of the membrane-bound ECD yields soluble forms of approximately the same molecular weight. Syndecan-1 is an epithelial cell Syndecan involved in Wnt and chemokine signaling. Human Syndecan-1 ECD shares 71% aa identity with the ECD of both rat and mouse Syndecan-1.
