(A) Schematic of EMP3 structure. Transmembrane domains are symbolized by colored circles. Confirmed N-glycan site (N47) is indicated (image created in BioRender.com). (B) Ribbon diagram of EMP3 extracellular domain. Cysteines believed to form a disulfide bond (C54 and C43) are indicated (generated by Alphafold2).

(A) Timeline and description of the three phases of erythroid CD34+ progenitor cell culture. HSPC = hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. (B) Cell culture of CD34+ cells from an EMP– individual (MAM_NEG) compared with two EMP+ control subjects (C1 and C2). EMP3– cells show a significantly increased growth during the expansion phase and a greater number of cells at the end of culture. ns = not significant; ****p < 0.0001. (Figure courtesy of Dr. A.G. Alattar, who performed the original experiment.)

Examples of Kaplan-Meier plots showing the influence of EMP3 expression on survival probability of patients with various cancers (data from https://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000142227-EMP3, accessed on 5 August 2022). For renal and stomach cancers, EMP3 expression has been determined to be prognostic by the Human Protein Atlas with data from The Cancer Genome Atlas.
