Anti-CD36 antibody produced in rabbit (C15-1341-665)

General description

CD36 is a glycoprotein that functions as a receptor for thrombospondin in platelets. Studies have reported that TLR4 signaling inhibited the expression of CD36 and subsequently slowed hematoma absorption. CD36 mediates NLRP3 inflammasome stimulation during inflammation.
Rabbit Anti-CD36 antibody recognizes bovine, rabbit, canine, human, pig, and rat CD36.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human CD36

Application

Rabbit Anti-CD36 antibody is suitable for western blot applications at a concentration of 1 μg/ml and for immunohistochemistry applications at a concentration of 4-8 μg/ml.

Biochem/physiol Actions

CD36 is the fourth major glycoprotein of the platelet surface and serves as a receptor for thrombospondin in platelets and various cell lines. Since thrombospondins are widely distributed proteins involved in a variety of adhesive processes, this protein may have important functions as a cell adhesion molecule. It binds to collagen, thrombospondin, anionic phospholipids and oxidized LDL. It directly mediates cytoadherence of Plasmodium falciparum parasitized erythrocytes and it binds long chain fatty acids and may function in the transport and/or as a regulator of fatty acid transport. Mutations in its gene cause platelet glycoprotein deficiency.The protein encoded by this gene is the fourth major glycoprotein of the platelet surface and serves as a receptor for thrombospondin in platelets and various cell lines.

Mutations in this gene cause platelet glycoprotein deficiency. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene.
